The recent B-junior league face-off between Erzgebirge Aue and FSV Zwickau took an ugly turn after fans got jumbled up in some messy business. Roughly 30 individuals, most of them donning black and lilac balaclavas, stormed the Zwickau fans' section as per the cops. A trio of 15-year-olds and a 19-year-old were left nursing injuries, and some fan gear was pinched. One of the injured needed hospitalization. The attackers then made a swift exit into a nearby forest.

The Police reported nabbing a 27-year-old. He's under the scanner for participating in the rowdy confrontations. The investigations for disturbing the peace are still ongoing, with roughly 40 police officers on duty.

FC Erzgebirge Aue, the hosting team, regretfully acknowledged the chaos and disavowed the attacks, no matter the previous provocations. The club wished a quick recovery to the victims.

The incident occurred despite Erzgebirge Aue deploying a larger-than-usual security squad following an agreement. Given the safety difficulties, the referee promptly called off the match, Erzgebirge Aue announced.
