On the agenda of the sports court: the firecracker throw and the resulting abandonment of the game. As a reminder: On February 20, 2022, the top game between RWE and SCP was canceled in the 75th minute after a cannon throw from the Essen fan curve.
In addition to two players from SC Preussen Münster – Jannik Borgmann and Marvin Thiel – the athletics coach Tim Geidies was also injured. Thiel is on sick leave to this day.
Red and white food was by Dr. Thomas Hermes, Marcus Uhlig, Jörn Nowak and Damian Jamro are represented. For Prussia Munster Simeon Scheuermann, Peter Niemeyer, Bernhard Niewöhner and Harald Menzel were present.
On Friday, representatives of Rot-Weiss Essen and Preußen Münster were present and made their statements. The sports court, which was represented by four officials, decided in favor of SC Preußen Münster after a two-hour hearing. Means: Preussen Münster can look forward to a 2-0 victory at the green table. In addition, RWE has to pay a fine of 15,000 euros. This resulted from the Münster game and the flaring of pyrotechnics in Mönchengladbach’s Borussia Park.
The chairman of the sports court on Friday, Hubert Jung from the Middle Rhine Football Association, explained the verdict: “The sports court has reached the following verdict. The game is scored 2-0 for Prussia Münster. Rot-Weiss Essen will bear the costs of the procedure Chamber had no reason to deviate from the fact that the referee made the right decision in this case. We had no reason to believe that the demolition came at the urging of Preussen Munster. The firecracker caused very serious injuries. The referee had no reasons restart play. That’s why we scored that way. It might be annoying for Essen, but there’s nothing you can do about it. The fact that this is a lone wolf doesn’t matter.”
Rot-Weiss Essen can appeal the verdict and go to the court of the West German Football Association (WDFV). A final judgment will then be made at this point at the latest.
