It is probably the match that most fans have been eagerly anticipating this football weekend.
SV Werder Bremen host Hamburger SV in what is likely the most explosive North derby in the standings and in footballing terms for many years.
Of course, it goes without saying that the stands are also buzzing – and the situation at Bremen’s Weserstadion escalated a little even before kick-off.
After suspected Werder fans allegedly set off pyrotechnics outside the Hamburg team hotel during the night and police had to intervene, ‘DAZN’ briefly interrupted the broadcast a few minutes ago because pyrotechnics landed on the pitch – this time, they came from the HSV fans in the away end.
Presenter Christina Rann interrupted her colleague Tobias Schweinsteiger with the words: “I need to take a look, because flares are flying.” Shortly afterwards, she indicated to him that they needed to leave their position quickly.
She then introduced a short commercial break, and after a few minutes the situation had calmed down and the broadcast was able to continue.
Things are already off to quite a start – and kick-off for this blockbuster derby isn’t until 3:30 p.m.
