HNK HAJDUK – HNK RIJEKA 1:1
The game of the 27. Round of HT first soccer league between HNK ‘Hajduk’ and HNK ‘Rijeka’ was played on March 31. 2018., on the Poljud stadium in Split in front of about 16.000 spectators, among them about 5.000 members of ‘Torcida’ (HNK Hajduk fan club), and around 500 members of Armada (HNK Rijeka fan club). Even before the start of the match, ‘Torcida’ chanted “And te Purger, and the people from Rijeka, with our fists and feet, bottles and sticks, everything for our Hajduk”. In 5’ minute ‘Armada’ chants ‘Tovar pussies’, which occurs again in minute 29’.
From 10’ until 13’ minute ‘Torcida’ lit up 12 flares which were turned off on the stands, and from 14’ minute, on more occasions, they chanted ‘Kill, kill the Serb’.
In 37’ minute, ‘Torcida’ sends a xenophobic and chauvinistic message with the chant:” Scabious Rijeka, you stinky city, I will kill half of your Armada, scabious Rijeka , you’re full of Serbs, don’t worry Rijeka, there are still plenty of willows“. After that an official speaker called for a fair cheering and behaviour, which was followed by a symptomatic answer from ‘Torcida’ – „Rijeka’s Serbs, rijeka’s Serbs“.
In 47′ „HNS faggots, you’ve fucked up football“ was heard, and from 50′ minute a poster was held up with a message for the Croatian football federation (CFF) that said: „Kustić, (executive director of CFF), Mišković (president of HNK ‘Rijeka’ and vicepresident of the CFF executive board), Herak and Mađar ( members of CFF executive board ) you are a sophisticated Mamić, Hanžeković awaits for you in hell, fuck off from Hajduk! Torcida against the iniciative of Opatija“.
In 53′ minute ‘Armada’, who had about 500 members on the stadium, activated 2 flares, and then another one in 88′ minute.
In 63′ minute ‘Torcida’ threw one firecracker on the tartan, and lit up a flare in 64′ minute.
A real pyromanic explosion occured between 68′ and 73′ minute when ‘Torcida’ lit up over 60 flares. Seven was thrown on the pitch, about 10 on the tartan, while other burned up between ‘Torcida’ members on the stadium. The referee had to abort the match for almost 5 minutes, regarding the thick smoke that has filled the stadium. From 68′ minute ‘Torcida’, in a few occasions, threw 7 cannon blasts on the tartan, and another one in 81′ minute. During the match, several smoke boxes were activated. Three of them were activated in 68′ minute, and in 80′ minute another smoke device was lit up, and another one at the end of the match. In 82′ minute ‘Torcida’ lit up one chair.
