Supporters of both teams respond with respectful silence to a medical emergency at the Böllenfalltor stadium. Initial information about the fan’s condition is then provided at the press conference.

The fan who collapsed in the north stand of the Böllenfalltor stadium during SV Darmstadt 98’s 4-0 (2-0) victory over Schalke 04 in the DFB Cup is “in critical condition in hospital.” This was announced by a spokesperson for the Hessian club at the press conference after the game.

A few minutes after the kickoff, there was a medical emergency in the north stand. After a heated start, the arena was respectfully quiet for most of the first half. After half an hour, the fans resumed cheering on their teams.
