Bayern Munich's disastrous 3-2 defeat by Bochum became the latest Bundesliga game to be marred by fan protests. They had started well against Bochum - who were one place clear of the relegation zone prior to kick off - and went ahead through Jamal Musiala. However, after 25 minutes, the players were taken from the field and down the tunnel after supporters started to throw tennis balls onto the pitch. This was the latest protest at planned foreign investment in the Bundesliga, with several other matches having been delayed in recent weeks - including nearly every Bundesliga game across the weekend. For example, during Borussia Dortmund's victory over Freiburg last week, tennis balls and chocolate gold coins were lobbed onto the pitch, causing a 10-minute delay.
