Borussia Dortmund have been ordered to close the Yellow Wall for one match and a €100,000 fine has been demanded by the German Football Association (DFB) following major crowd trouble against RB Leipzig.
Dortmund beat Leipzig – whose Bundesliga title bid is causing controversy in Germany due to their ownership structure – 1-0 in the Bundesliga last Saturday.
However, the ban only relates to matters within the stadium, with Dortmund punished because fans unveiled a string of "defamatory banners about Leipzig, threw filled beer mugs and targeted Leipzig players with a laser".
The DFB's statement read: "After the massive spectators' incidents in the Bundesliga match against RB Leipzig as well as before the matches with Mainz and Hoffenheim and in the first game in Leipzig, the control committee of the German Football Association (DFB) calls for the blocking of the South stand in a Bundesliga match and a €100,000 fine for Borussia Dortmund."
The DFB's control committee has sent its recommendations to its sports court and to Dortmund, who have until Monday to respond.
