A fight broke out after the Bundesliga game between 1. FC Köln and Eintracht Frankfurt.
The police report that around 100 people were involved.
Cologne – In terms of sport, it was a used Saturday evening for Frankfurt Eintracht: the relegation candidate from Cologne suffered a 2-0 defeat and received two yellow-red cards.
The much praised winter transfer offensive should not yet pay off on this 20th matchday of the Bundesliga.

Accordingly, Dino Toppmöller was pissed off after the game.
“These constant, many simple ball losses annoy me,” said the Frankfurt coach: “The reason we are not yet a top team is because we don’t play for 90 minutes what we showed at times at the beginning of the second half.”
Ultimately, it wasn't just Cologne's new coach Timo Schultz's first victory that made headlines.
The events after the game are also in focus.
After the final whistle there was a mass brawl between the two fan camps in the cathedral city.

The police were able to establish the identities of more than 30 people and they were subsequently released.
