FOOTBALL fans fought with each other and clashed with police in at least three German cities over the weekend, with 85 people arrested and at least nine injured.
Disturbances occurred in Berlin, Bochum and Bielefeld and involved supporters of several Bundesliga clubs, police said on Sunday.
A match on Sunday between the youth teams of Schalke and Borussia Dortmund in Gelsenkirchen had to be abandoned after 25 minutes because of fighting between rival fans. A group of about 100 Schalke fans attacked 50 Dortmund supporters. Police detained about 20 Schalke fans.
In Berlin, rival fans of Hertha Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt clashed at Saturday's game and police arrested 66 people. Eintracht fans also attacked stadium marshals at one of the gates of the Olympic stadium and two supporters were detained.
Eintracht won the match 3-1.
Hamburger SV fans going to their club's game in Mainz trashed train and damaged shops at the Bielefeld station. About 150 drunken fans were detained and later sent back to Hamburg on buses. The match in Mainz ended in a 1-1 draw.
Cologne fans rioted in downtown Bochum before Friday's 0-0 draw, resulting in 19 arrests and nine injured.
Stefan Kiessling scored a hat-trick on Sunday to lead Bayer Leverkusen to a 4-0 win over Stuttgart to reclaim first place in the Bundesliga.
Undefeated Leverkusen now has 30 points, three more than Werder Bremen.
Kiessling raised his league-high season total to 12 goals.
In a late match, Ivica Olic scored one goal and set up another as Bayern Munich won 3-0 in Hannover to move into fourth place with 24 points. Schalke is third on 25.
