"Racist insults" - game abandoned in Garching Derby

Afterwards everyone agrees on at least one thing. "Unfortunately, the sporting has fallen behind today," says Joachim Thoss, sporting director at VfR Garching. It sounds similar with Hasan Celik, President of city rivals FC Türk Sport: “It's not about who won. It's sad that it ended like this. "


Afterwards everyone agrees on at least one thing.

"Unfortunately, the sporting has fallen behind today," says Joachim Thoss, sporting director at VfR Garching.

It sounds similar with Hasan Celik, President of city rivals FC Türk Sport: “It's not about who won.

It's sad that it turned out that way. "

Garching - Because actually the derby between FC Türk Sport Garching, the table leader of the district class 2, and its closest rival, the VfR Garching II, was supposed to be a real top game.

And that's exactly what it was, confirm those involved - up to the 91st minute.

Then referee Philip Donath, who was widely recognized as having performed well, broke off the game.

The reason: FC Türk Sport refused to continue playing - with reference to "racist insults", according to Celik.

It was the inglorious end of a city derby that had already begun with gossip.

For example, the kickers from FC Türk Sport were denied access to the cabins in the Seestadion due to corona requirements.

Instead, they had to change in the VfR clubhouse on Schleißheimer Straße.

That was "morally questionable", annoyed Hasan Celik, who speaks of "a lack of hospitality".

Joachim Thoss rejects this accusation.

He emphasizes that it was a requirement of the city that no foreign team was allowed into the cabins.

And: "I had discussed that in advance with the sports director of Türk Sport."

After this preliminary skirmish, 22 highly motivated players stood on the pitch at kick-off - in front of a proud 250 spectators (Celik even spoke of “500 to 600”). The many who came did not regret it, because from the start a respectable and varied game developed. Although both sides went to work with great commitment, it remained fair - until shortly before the end. In the 87th minute, Danijel Samardzic had to leave the field after repeated fouls with yellow and red - the prelude to a turbulent final phase.

First, FC Türk Sport decimated further: Because Admir Durmic and Adrian Nagy insulted each other after a failed action by their team, the referee sent them both off the pitch. "We'll work on that," said Hasan Celik, commenting on the two red cards. They did, however, become a side note in view of what happened shortly afterwards. Kubilay Celik scored 1-0 for VfR in stoppage time - and this hit caused tumult in the stadium.

Responsible for this, as Celik describes it, was the “racist insult” of a VfR player in the direction of the FC coaching bench - audible to the audience as well. “The fans went nuts and tried to get onto the field. Everyone freaked out, that's why we pushed for the game to be abandoned because I feared it would be too risky. ”It sounds a little different with Joachim Thoss. Although he does not want to rule out a racist insult, it “never came from one of our players”, emphasizes the VfR official. "Türk Garching then refused to continue playing, so the referee stopped the game." Thoss emphasized that the referee had "heard nothing of an insult".

Now the sports court of the association has to decide on the basis of the referee's report and the statements of both clubs whether and, if so, how the game will be rated.

But even if, after a judgment, a winner may be determined: Ultimately, all losers at this derby are probably.
