It was a difficult task that Eintracht Frankfurt had to solve.

In the away game at Borussia Dortmund, the surprise team of the Bundesliga wanted to at least defend its four point lead over the direct pursuer, ideally to extend it.

No less tricky, however, was the challenge that a Dortmund pizza delivery boy had to face as part of the game.

Eintracht was supported in Dortmund by around 70 ultras who ordered pizza in front of the stadium.

When the employee of the delivery service arrived with the goods, the fans had already been surrounded by the police and escorted to their private cars in the parking lot, as reported by the "Ruhr Nachrichten".

First he was stopped at the closed Strobelallee, but was still able to deliver the pizzas via a small detour.

At 4.40 p.m., the SGE-Ultras were able to receive their order.

A point in time when their team was still fighting for victory a few hundred meters away with a score of 1: 1.

The fans had gathered right at the stadium before the game and loudly supported their team, as was clearly heard during the television broadcast on Sky.

They celebrated "the SGE", chanted "away win" and cheered the 1-0 after eleven minutes.

Only after more than half an hour did the police step in and break up the support, which was mostly in small groups and with face masks.

The Ultras remained peaceful and let themselves be escorted to their cars without resistance.

As the "Ruhr Nachrichten" reports, a police convoy even led the SGE fans to the autobahn.
