Fakel Voronezh v Dynamo Moscow match halted by riot

Saturday’s Russian first division match between Fakel Voronezh and Dynamo Moscow was halted following disorder involving fans.

The game was stopped in the 58th minute when rival fans began fighting in the stands, exchanging punches and throwing seats at each other.

The situation worsened when a large group of Fakel Voronezh ultras, positioned at the opposite end of the ground, invaded the area surrounding the pitch and joined the violence.

Order was restored after around ten minutes and play was able to resume.

The two sets of fans had also clashed in a mass brawl outside Fakel Voronezh’s stadium prior to kick-off.

According to local media reports, four people were injured.
