During the Bayern Munich versus Borussia Dortmund match at the Allianz Arena on Sunday 1 November, supporters engaged in a fight in the stands, prompting police to intervene with batons.
The game, known as Der Klassiker, began with England captain Harry Kane flashing his Ballon d'Or to the home crowd for the first time since winning the award on Monday in London.
The encounter ended in a 2-2 draw, with both sides scoring twice and Kane, 33, missing a penalty.
What should have been a showcase of German football turned violent as rivalry erupted.
A video of the incident, shared on social media and viewed over 870,000 times, shows two men - one wearing a yellow shirt and a black-white scarf, the other in a black jacket, blue jeans and a red-white hat - grappling after one fell onto the seats in front of them.
The yellow-clad fan, apparently supporting the visitors, got up and began striking the other man, who was still head-first on the seats.
Police moved in, separating the two and one officer brandished a baton before arresting the yellow-shirted individual.
Behind the scuffle, the home crowd waved scarves while the Bavarians' goal music played.
Nearby fans tried to distance themselves from the fight.
The yellow-shirted supporter was proudly displaying his colours in the home end, which may have sparked the altercation.
While many Bundesliga matches see rival fans seated together peacefully, high-profile fixtures like Bayern versus Dortmund usually keep supporters separated as a precaution.
Stadium bans are often imposed on hooligans who start such disturbances.
The draw leaves Bayern and Dortmund level on points at the top of the league table, with Kane's side ahead only on goal difference.
