While professional football in Germany is still in its summer slumber, things are already back underway in other parts of Europe. Unfortunately, not just on the pitch.

At the start of the new season in Croatia’s top flight, the HNL, a fan protest escalated in Varaždin. Apparently because of excessively high ticket prices, some Hajduk Split supporters decided to set parts of the away end at Andelko Herjavec Stadium on fire.

According to official reports, fortunately no one was injured in the incident. The extent of the property damage remains unclear at this point. Hosts Varaždin ultimately won the match 2–1, by the way — but most of the attention likely went to the burning away end.
