Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga match against Freiburg was suspended for ten minutes on Friday evening due to fan unrest over proposals over a new commercial deal that could be implemented for clubs across Germany.
Former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can was confronted by supporters in the first half in an attempt to calm the unrest among the fans.
Supporters had expressed their displeasure at the new investment plans by reportedly throwing ‘tennis balls and coins’ onto the playing field.
The match was reportedly suspended for ten minutes during the first half, before the home side took a 2–0 lead in the match.
Donyell Malen put the home side 1-0 ahead after 17 minutes, firing the ball into the top right corner of the goal after finding enough space in the penalty area. Just before half-time he hit back again to score his second of the match, combining with Niclas Fullkrug to double the lead.
