Dresden fined €60k after fans throw bull's head against RB Leipzig

Dynamo Dresden have been handed a €60,000 fine and face a partial stadium closure as a result of a number of incidents during their DFB-Pokal win over RB Leipzig on August 20, which saw a bull's head thrown from the stands.

RB Leipzig are not exactly the most popular team in Germany with many supporters of rival teams believing the Red Bull-founded club have bent rules on fan ownership.

And the Dresden fans made their disdain known by throwing a bloodied bull's head towards the pitch, showcasing several offensive banners and launching coins at Leipzig's Dominik Kaiser. 

"The disciplinary committee does not disregard the fact that the high-risk game took place without any violent incidents because of Dresden's efforts," disciplinary committee president Hans E. Lorenz said.

"But at the same time, a number of incidents that took place during the game do not speak in Dresden's favour, hence this ruling." 

Dresden have one week to appeal the DFB's decision.
