Fortuna Düsseldorf - Hertha BSC 2:2 -> Fortuna GOTO Bundesliga
(hopefully...)

Still recovering from the match yesterday. It was a thriller till the last minute. I considered driving over to the hospital in the break to tune my pacemaker under 200 bpm....

A pretty unique match.
The Hertha block did a little to much "cheering" for D'towns 2:1 by shooting massive pyros. Düsseldorf's Ultras answered with their little show, but it stayed in their block. In contrast the Berlin idiots shot even at their own players who tried to calm down their "fans".
A little vid of the event can be seen (Berlin block on the camera's left, Düsseldorf supporters on the other side of the stadium)
Long break till the match continued. At the end of the 90 minutes 7 minutes overtime were announced.
At minute 95 (yeah, the Fortuna minute ) this happened: - the match was NOT over yet. I think most people who stormed on the filed thought that the match was over. Players and ref hurried to gtf off the lawn. The coaches and staff tried to get the people off the lawn. Took some time, also some time till Düsseldorf came back, then some sweaty minutes if the match would be called off or if they play the last 90 seconds...

Overall, after 20 minutes they played, Fortuna won because of the previous match, then the people could rush onto the lawn for real.
Now the sore losers from Berlin want to sue in front of the sports court...
Well, the overtime was only because of their "supporters" without their massive pyros that included shooting at the filed and at players the match would have been over in regular time.

Oh yeah: gladly none of the players were hurt during the lawn storm - and the quality of the actual footballing was pretty good!
