Hertha BSC supporter threw flares onto the field.[6] Hertha BSC supporters did this after Fortuna Düsseldorf scored their second goal of the night going up 2:1. The other problem of the night was when several Fortuna Düsseldorf supporters ran onto the field with about a minute left.[3][6][7] It took 21 minutes to restore order[8] and stoppage time ended up being 28 minutes by the time the final whistle blew. With Fortuna Düsseldorf winning the 2 legged affair, they return to the Bundesliga after 15 seasons.[7]

The appeal

Hertha BSC appealed the result of the match.[9][10] The German Football Association will be meeting on 18 May 2012 to discuss the incidents of the second leg.[9][10] Campino, singer for Die Toten Hosen, called Hertha BSC's protest "indecent".[11] The hearing at the German Football Association last for six hours.[12] The panel's decision will not be known until a further meeting on Monday.[12] It is expected to make a decision at 15.00 CET.[12] The German Football Association stated that any possible disciplinary action against either club or any of the players will be taken at a later date.[12] The players being investigated are Levan Kobiashvili, Christian Lell, Thomas Kraft and Andre Mijatović.[12] 2nd leg referee Wolfgang Stark was a key witness at the first hearing at the German Football Association.[12] Fortuna Düsseldorf have canceled a planned trip to Mallorca due to the hearing on 21 May 2012.[13]

Sports law expert Michael Lehner said that Hertha BSC can hope for replay after the second leg of the promotion/relegation playoff.[14] Lehner went on to state, "Is not the game has been properly placed on the principle of equal opportunity at the end there was a break in terms of game development" and "The team of Hertha BSC through the fault of third parties a real opportunity has been deprived of the game even. get why there should be a replay from a legal point of view".[14]

The sports court of the German Football Association rejected the appeal of Hertha BSC.[15][16][17] Hertha BSC will pay the cost of the proceedings.[17] Hertha BSC appealed the decision of the German Football Association's sports court.[15][16][17] The sports German Football Association court president Hans Eberhard Lorenz stated, "The appeal was unsuccessful, because no ground of opposition was to prove the referee has traded at any time conform to the rules, and the alleged Hertha BSC-sided weakness due to the interruption could not be proven.." He also stated that "There was no Berlin players injured or assaulted or were needed to be replaced. Had this been the case, the objection would have been done."[16] The Federal Court of the German Football Association confirmed the Sports Court decision.[18] Hertha BSC can appeal the decision to the Sports Court for Arbitration.[18] After the final verdict, Hertha BSC players went on vacation while Fortuna Düsseldorf players were not immediately released for vacation.[19]
