Seems like a night of high drama in the Western section of the Regionalliga.
Köln II were up 4-1 after 77' (Sinclair hadn't made it off the bench to that point) when this happened.
"Anscheinend haben sich Kölner Fans in Spielerleibchen unauffällig dem RWO-Block genähert und dort ein Fanbanner geklaut und sind damit zurück über den Platz gerannt, woraufhin die Oberhausener hinterhergerannt sind."
Loosely translated, the Köln fans appear to have disguised themselves, and have then sprung a surprise to steal a Rot Weiß Oberhausen banner/tifo from their section and run back across the field with it.
Rot Weiß Oberhausen fans have then reacted and come from where they were stationed, and stormed across down the pitch to try and retrieve it causing a confrontation with their Köln counterparts.
On social media there seems to be a lot of blame for security and whatnot with opposing fans taunting each other etc etc.
The game was suspended shortly afterwards, with Köln up 4-1, but of course that result does not yet stand.
