GENOA – Clashes between Genoa and Cagliari ultras in the Borgo Incrociati area before tonight’s championship match at Ferraris between the two rossoblu teams: according to Digos, a large number of fans dressed in black who arrived from Sardinia came into contact with a group of Genoans who were probably reaching the stadium on motorbikes, as can be seen from the fact that they were wearing helmets.
It happened near a petrol station in via Canevari, in Marassi, near the bus stops. This resulted in clashes, or just skirmishes as if to show off their muscles, some hooded fans armed themselves with sticks and belts. The petrol station billboards were also launched.
The riots frightened passers-by even though they lasted only a few minutes, the time needed for the Digos police to intercept the Cagliari fans heading towards the stadium and escort them together with the rest of the visiting fans. From the first official news there were no injuries, or rather no one went to hospital or asked for help on 118. In order to reconstruct what happened, the Digos agents will start investigations by examining the security cameras and the videos taken with cell phones by some fans.
The relations between the two fans are historically very tense due to the good relations between the Cagliaritans and the Sampdoria fans.
