Bundesliga 2 match interrupted as remote controlled cars equipped with flares storm pitch

A match in Germany’s second tier was briefly interrupted after the pitch was stormed by two remote-controlled cars equipped with blue and white flares. The game was halted after just 10 minutes of the first half due to the incident, which was the latest in a string of protests against a controversial new development in German football.

Remote-controlled toy cars equipped with pyrotechnics were driven onto the pitch, leaving referee Felix Zyawer with little choice but to pause the game. A member of security was seen attempting to kick the cars off the playing surface, but they simply drove around him.
