The atmosphere was tense before the match between Hertha BSC and Dynamo Dresden. However, according to police reports, things remained calm after Berlin’s victory.

According to police reports, there were 30 arrests surrounding the high-risk match between Hertha BSC and Dynamo Dresden. The main reasons were physical assaults, resistance to law enforcement officers, and bodily harm, police said.

According to police, there were no clashes between fans of either team around Berlin’s Olympic Stadium after the 2nd Bundesliga match. “Everything was calm,” said a police spokeswoman late in the afternoon after the hosts’ 2-0 victory. “There were no further incidents after the game.” The fans left peacefully.

The police’s plan was to direct Hertha fans along completely different routes than Dynamo supporters. Ideally, they should not have encountered each other at all. “That worked well,” said the police spokeswoman.

There were riots before the start of the game

Before the start of the second division match, however, fans of both teams had sought confrontation in the stadium. According to police reports, several hundred fans from both camps tried to run towards each other on the upper ring. However, they were stopped by police and security guards. In addition, isolated pyrotechnics were set off at the entrance. Hertha fans and supporters of the club from the Saxon capital have been rivals for a long time.
