There was a serious bee infestation in the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday afternoon prior to Borussia Dortmund’s championship game against FSV Mainz 05. On images of, among others via play is visible how thousands of bees gather in the stadium and take a seat on cameras. The fire service was eventually called in to remedy the problem.

“It may well ensure that Dortmund kicks off later? Or maybe even everywhere?” presenter Koen Weijland asks analyst Simon Cziommer in the studio. “To be honest, I have never experienced such a plague during a match,” the former footballer replies. “But this is bizarre. I am curious how they will solve this.” In the end, it was possible to kick off at 3.30 pm.

Dortmund is certain of its first national title since 2012 with a win over Mainz. However, the first half was dramatic for the Boruses: goals from Andreas Hanche-Olsen and Karim Onisiwo led to a 0-2 deficit. In addition, Sébastien Haller missed a penalty after just under twenty minutes of play. Meanwhile, an early goal from Kingsley Coman puts Bayern Munich 0-1 ahead against 1. FC Köln, making Bayern the virtual champion.
