Dynamo Dresden supporters have no love for RB Leipzig. Separated by just 75 miles, the two teams clashed in the first round of German Cup action, and things got ugly.

Founded by energy drink-maker Red Bull in 2009, Leipzig has quickly soared through the ranks of German soccer, achieving promotion to the Bundesliga for the 2016/17 season. Around since 1953, Dresden hasn't been in Germany's top tier since 1995, and that bitterness came to a head when the two teams met in the DFB-Pokal over the weekend.

Yep, that's a bull's head. Dresden supporters somehow snuck it in to their stadium, making a grotesque statement about their hatred of Red Bull's existence. To make things even more spicy, Dresden came back from down 2-0 at half to send the match to extra time, stunning Leipzig to win the tie 5-4 on penalties.

RB Leipzig is the first top-flight team to be eliminated from the German Cup this term, and they're probably the first team to have a severed bull's head tossed at them this season.

First time for everything, I guess.
