adminSTUTTGART. — Borussia Dortmund reached the German Cup semi-finals with a 3-1 win at VfB Stuttgart on Tuesday night as fans protested against high ticket prices by staying away at the start and throwing tennis balls on to the pitch.
Several thousand Dortmund supporters spent the opening 20 minutes away from their seats at the Mercedes Benz arena while a banner saying “football should be affordable” stretched across the empty spaces.
The visiting fans, however, got their money’s worth for the entrance fee when German international Marco Reus fired the ball in from close range in the fifth minute. — Reuters.
