ads 1 Europa League - Playoffs: AS Roma vs Feyenoord 19 Feb

Stadio Olimpico

Rome 19/02/2015

19:00CET (19:00 local time)

After three hours of tension, a little before 16:30(Italy), in the center of Roma has unleashed the battle. Feyenoord hooligans, who today at 19 addresses the team AS Roma in a match of the Europa League, threw smoke bombs against agents who, lined up on the steps of Trinita dei Monti, reacted with a charge right into via San Sebastianello. Fans responded by pulling bottles and other objects at the police. Then they also began to ravage cars, motorbikes, garbage bins. At least three supporters were injured, injury or ten policemen and a photographer, all medicated on site. The police are examining the positions of some of the people locked during the scuffles.

The square has been under siege for hours, since the morning completely invaded by Dutch supporters who have some firecracker exploded, drank beers, cracked bottles and glasses thrown in the Fountain of Four Rivers just restored. A fragment of the fountain was torn and is visible at the bottom of the water cans and cartons of beer. On the ground a carpet of waste. Many shops were forced to close: "We are afraid - said a shopkeeper - was a guerrilla." Then, under the staircase, the climate is back calmer but the Spanish Steps is reduced to a kind of battlefield. And the alert remains high: now visiting supporters are reaching groups at the Olympic stadium through the city.
