The 1st FSV Mainz 05 must pay a fine of 8000 euros, the DFB announced on Tuesday.
The DFB Sports Court has fined the Rheinhessen side in single-judge proceedings after charges were brought by the Control Committee for“unsportsmanlike conduct by its supporters “
Background: In the home match against Union Berlin on 3 October (1:2), visiting professional Max Kruse was pelted with beer by Mainz spectators after his substitution. The left-footer had received a yellow card for delay of game immediately before Kevin Möhwald replaced him.
The Mainz team has already agreed to the decision, which is now legally binding.
