The fight between the fans should have happened before the kick-off itself, as evidenced by the contribution of the Copenhagen hooligans from social networks.
The commentary says the following: “Sparta attacked us in the number of 30 to 40 hooligans. There were only 7 of us. A short intense fight. The police dispersed us. Much respect to the guys from Sparta.”

On the Instagram profile of the Spartan news, the post shows a broken window of the bus of fans of the Czech champion. The label says it all. “Copenhagen fans vs. spartan fan club bus.”
In the comments, fans argue about whether the Letenské fans attacked the home team fans first and the attack on the bus was a retaliation.
“I hope that the fans will get home safely,” Ondřej Kasík, head of communications for AC Sparta Prague, told Sport.cz that he had no more information about the situation.
In 2017, fans of the then Fastav Zlín experienced a similar ending and experience with the Copenhagen hooligan group Sektion 12 after a Europa League match.
