SNS GroupAn Aberdeen fan has been arrested in Germany after a pyrotechnic was thrown towards Eintracht Frankfurt supporters during the Europa Conference League match between the sides.
The incident occurred after Aberdeen had equalised in the Waldstadion and prompted an angry response from the Frankfurt fans, with further objects appearing to be thrown by the Aberdeen supporters.
A statement on the Polizei Frankfurt social media read: “During the first half of the game, one of the away fans threw a burning pyrotechnic object into the neighbouring home fan block. Fortunately, no one was injured.
