Koln was fined 50,000 euros due to incidents in five different matches involving fans of the German elite club, the Football Union said in Germany. In one of the incidents, during a fight with Borussia (Mönchengladbach), three supporters of the “goats” were disguised as stewards, entered the guest lodge sector and stole a banner from it.

Other than the condemnations of Koln supporters include the illegal use of pyrotechnics, and the making of an offensive poster against billionaire Dietmar Hoppe, who owns Hoffenheim.
