Lighted flares were thrown from both sides, some of which landed close to the audience, and some fans appeared to engage in fistfights.<\/p>\n<p>Police then burst onto the field through an entrance in one corner of the stadium and chased dozens of Dresden supporters towards the other side. <\/p>\n<p>It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured or if any arrests were made.<\/p>\n<p>Referee Sven Jablonski stopped the match and sent off the players for more than 15 minutes. Meanwhile, police formed two lines across the field towards the Dresden supporters. A banner in Hertha&#8217;s blue and white colors was illuminated and displayed on the Dresden side. <\/p>\n<p>The match eventually resumed. It was the second suspension of the game, following an earlier delay, as fans set off fireworks and smoke filled the stadium. Hertha won the match 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Fans were also upset when the final whistle rang. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Borussia Dortmund beat Stuttgart 2-0<\/span> in a top division match.
