Fans gone, 0:4 down: German second-tier side endure a nightmare day

Fans gone, 0:4 down: German second-tier side endure a nightmare day The omens for SV Darmstadt were anything but promising. As the Lilies' fan support group reported before the match, there was a confrontation with police at Karlsruhe Central Station.  "According to our observations, several federal police officers used batons to drive numerous people up a passageway towards a platform, for no reason apparent to us. Masked police officers were waiting at the top. After several minutes of heavy-handed violence, four Lilies fans remained on the upper platform. One of them was so seriously injured that an ambulance had to be called," Darmstadt's fan support group wrote in its statement.  The statement went on to say that, following these incidents, the Lilies fans were ordered to leave the area and had to return home. Police have yet to comment on the allegations.  As if those omens were not bad enough, Kohfeldt's team are also suffering a complete collapse on the pitch today. Just over an hour into the game, SVD were already 4–0 down.   While the lack of vocal support is certainly a disadvantage, Kohfeldt will undoubtedly have some questions to answer after this performance. Darmstadt currently sit 17th in the 2. Bundesliga.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
