How the teams stand in group D

“Due to the events in Malmö, UEFA fined us. Part of this penalty was that we were not allowed to sell tickets to our fans for our last Europa League group match against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. We accepted this penalty as we are aware of our responsibility for what happened in Malmö. However, the decree of the mayor of Leuven is, in our view, absolutely disproportionate. It suspends fundamental rights and is contrary to both the European as well as the idea of UEFA to organise sporting competitions across national borders,” said Dirk Zingler, president of 1. FC Union Berlin, explaining the decision to take legal action against the city of Leuven.

Until a week ago, Magdeburger FFC, who are currently 5th in the table, were actually the only team apart from 1. FC Union Berlin not to have suffered a single loss in the league. head coach Alexander Auer’s side, who have been in the Regionalliga since 2015, had four wins and three draws until last weekend’s heavy 6-2 defeat to Türkiyemspor.

Contrary to the opinion of the Belgian Advocate General, the court considered that there was a threat to public order. The city had therefore reacted in a permissible manner, and the court also considered the order to be proportionate.

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise: Anthony Moris – Ismael Kandouss (Loic Lapussin), Ross Sykes, Christian Burgess, Bart Nieuwkoop – Simon Adingra, Lazare Amani (Oussama El Azzousi), Teddy Teume – Gustaf Nilsson (Victor Boniface), Dante Vanzeir (Dennis Eckert).
