A 19-year-old Inter supporter suspected of throwing a firecracker at Cremonese goalkeeper Emil Audero during Cremonese's home match against Inter on Sunday has been arrested.

Investigators used CCTV footage to identify the suspect. The match was halted for nearly three minutes early in the second half after the device hit the Indonesian goalkeeper’s leg. Speaking to Gazzetta, Audero later described the impact.

He spoke of a deafening noise, likening it to being struck on the ear with a hammer, and said he found it hard to hear.

He then noticed a cut on his right leg, his shorts were ripped, and he felt a sharp burning sensation.

On Tuesday the Interior Ministry barred Inter tifosi from travelling, and they cannot attend their team’s matches before 23 March.
