This looks really nasty

Hopefully action will be taken against the pitch invaders. Unlike in the UK, I expect the authorities will not shy away from properly apportioning blame on those who flout the rules and enter the game space.

Horrific

Over reaction and inappropriate reaction by the authorities.
Yes, pitch invasions are a pain but they are quite common on n lots of sports and rarely amount to much.

Perhaps further info will come to light but at the moment it appears they had used teargas to disperse the marauding thugs that had invaded the pitch intent on violence and destruction. In that case, it seems teargas was entirely appropriate, despite what the football authorities might say (they don't have a clue). This isn't the first time fan violence has ended in tragedy.

How do you know what their intentions were?

Was just reading about this. Sounds horrific. It’s difficult to understand from the reporting but seems like the victims by and large were just regular supports who were looking to get the hell out of there.
