Saturday's Bundesliga match between leaders Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich was delayed by 10 minutes before kick-off as fans continued their league-wide protests against the German FA.

Fans from both the home and visiting sections threw tennis balls, foil-covered coins and other objects on the pitch while chanting slogans critical of the German FA's decision to allow foreign investment.

Players from both sides, who were on the pitch ready to start the hotly anticipated match, kicked the ball to each other and jogged to keep warm while stadium announcers asked fans to refrain.

Earlier on Saturday, the match between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg was delayed by almost an hour due to similar protests, organised by fan groups.
