Fans of both teams observed a respectful moment of silence in response to a medical emergency at the Böllenfalltor Stadium. Initial information on the fan’s condition was 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 at the hospital.” A spokesperson for the Hessian club announced this at the postgame press conference.

A few minutes after kickoff, a medical emergency occurred in the north stand. Following a heated start, a respectful silence prevailed in the arena for most of the first half. After half an hour, the fans once again began cheering on their teams.
