The game went on with passionate cheering from both fan clubs, and in the sole introduction, Armada chanted “Tovar pussies” which was repeated in 24’,25’ and 45’ minute. Similar messages came from the other side as well, and it has culminated in 31’ minute when Armada, despite the rigorous controls threw a real ‘pyro show’ with their flares, and six of them were thrown over the fence towards the pitch. The referee had to postpone the match for a couple of minutes until the flares were put out and the pitch was cleared. Torcida, even though they were closed in a narrow cage, managed to get some pyrotechnics and in 81’ minute lit up 8 flares. There were a lot more offensive notes and messages throughout the match, but they could not be heard properly due to loudness of other sounds on the stadium.
