Sportingly, things are still going according to plan at FC Wacker Innsbruck, but the fans caused an incident on Saturday evening during the Tyrolean league match against Oberland West. A rocket box had gone out of control. Two people were injured.
Referee Mutlu had to interrupt the game in Prutz for a few minutes on Saturday evening. What happened?
In the FC Wacker sector, fans repeatedly set fire to Bengalos and rocket batteries, and finally an incident occurred: a box of rockets fell over for an unknown reason after being lit and ignited. The result: the fireworks exploded in the immediate vicinity of the Wacker fans.
Teenager and young woman injured
A 15-year-old local man and a German spectator (22) were injured to an unspecified degree in the incident.
The match continued after a few minutes and ended with a 3-0 win for Wacker. Oberland coach Harald Falkner made it clear: “The Wacker fans also created a great atmosphere for the Bengalos, but rockets have no place on the football field.”
