Bayern Munich fined over fan behaviour

Bayern Munich have been fined €15,000 (£12,310) by the German Football Association (DFB) over the behaviour of its fans during recent Bundesliga fixtures.

The governing body penalised the league leaders due to two counts of "unsporting behaviour" by its supporters and a lack of stewards at its stadium.

Flares were ignited when Bayern took on Fortuna Dusseldorf at the Allianz Arena on October 20, and fireworks were lit when they hosted Nuremberg the following month.

The clubs stewarding was called into question when a supporter gained access to the pitch during December's home clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern confirmed that it will accept the DFB's penalty.

Fellow Bundesliga clubs Fortuna Dusseldorf, Mainz, and Koln were slapped with smaller fines for similar incidents involving their fans.
