The 4-2 derby victory over TSV 1860 Munich has had bitter repercussions for FC Bayern’s amateur team. Due to widespread use of pyrotechnics at Grünwalder Stadium, the Munich club faces a severe penalty. As reported by BILD, the Bavarian Soccer Association (BFV) has imposed a point deduction and a fine of 15,000 euros on Bayern II.

The corresponding penalty notice was reportedly delivered to the German record champions on Thursday evening. With this, the association is continuing its consistent crackdown on pyrotechnics violations in the Bavarian Regional League.

What makes this particularly bitter is that this is by no means the first penalty of this kind for coach Dante’s team. In the past, Bayern’s amateur squad has already lost several points due to similar incidents.

Now they face another competitive setback—of all times, right after their prestigious victory over their city rivals.

Pyrotechnics chaos causes game interruption

The penalty was triggered by incidents during last Sunday’s Munich city derby.

After Bayern took a 3-2 lead in the 51st minute, fans in the away section set off numerous flares. Rockets were also used.

As a result, the match had to be suspended for about four minutes. Later in the game, pyrotechnic devices were set off again.

The BFV rules stipulate a point deduction for a game interruption caused by pyrotechnics lasting at least five minutes.

Although this threshold was not reached during the derby, the association apparently took action nonetheless. The repeated incidents, as well as Munich’s prior record of such offenses, likely played a decisive role.

This is already the fourth point deduction due to pyrotechnics

For Bayern II, the current sanction is already the fourth such incident in less than a year and a half.

In May 2025, the amateur team had one point deducted following pyrotechnics incidents at 1. FC Schweinfurt 05. This was accompanied by a fine of 12,000 euros.

In February 2026, another point deduction followed after an incident at Wacker Burghausen. At that time, the Munich-based club also had to pay an additional 26,000 euros.

In July 2026, the BFV even imposed a retroactive deduction of two points and a fine of 16,750 euros due to further incidents in Burghausen.

As a result, Bayern’s amateur team has already lost four points due to pyrotechnics-related penalties. Should the current decision become final, that number would rise to five.

However, the matter is not yet definitively settled. FC Bayern has the option to appeal the penalty notice.

For Dante, who was shown a red card in the 59th minute of the derby victory, this turn of events is particularly frustrating. The important sporting victory against the Lions is overshadowed by yet another penalty from the association.
