In 53’ Kohorta chants: ”step over the purger”, and a minute later: ”fuck you, Mamić”.
During the 57.minute, Kohorta chanted to the GNK Dinamo coach (Nenad Bjelica – who is a citizen of Osijek): “sold soul” and “fuck you, Mamić”.
In 71’ members of Kohorta activated 12 flares and 2 flashlights.
In 82’ members of BBB activated 22 flares, from which 19 were thrown on to the tartan track.
A couple of flashlights were thrown as well, after which the referee, due to thick smoke caused by the flares, paused the match for about 5 minutes. As a result of the ‘pyro’ show – five chairs were set on fire on the northern section, where BBB were located.
After the flares were put out, members of Kohorta chant: “Gypsies, Gypsies”.
In 88’ members of Kohorta chant: “HNS faggots, you’ve fucked up football”.
At the end of the match, BBB chanted: “Osijek pussies”.
NOTE: The association called ‘Dinamo that’s us’, which represents itself as a part of Dinamo’s supporters, reported that Zdravko Mamić (ex-executive director of GNK Dinamo), Zoran Mamić (ex-coach of GNK Dinamo) and Damir Vrbanović (executive director of Croatian football association) were no longer members of GNK Dinamo. As an argument for this they have noted that the indictment against the three men was final and that they were unlawfully convicted on the basis of that indictment. It is out of the limits every judicial practice, and in an opposition to any aspects of lawful state ( for which ‘Dinamo that’s us’ strongly vows) that the legal consequences of an inadmissible verdict for the criminal offense. It all seems even more absurd when you know that in Croatian Sabor there is a person unlawfully convicted of war crimes, as well as many other representatives against whom lawful processes are led. The administration of GNK Dinamo denied this ‘information’, adding to it that Zoran Mamić and Damir Vrbanović were never even members of GNK Dinamo.
