Clashes between Udinese ultras and Napoli fans on the pitch: six injured

Udinese’s ultras had said it the day before: you won’t celebrate the Scudetto on our pitch. And from words they moved on to deeds. In fact, a few dozen of them entered the field with belts and sticks, running towards the crowd of Neapolitans who had huddled around their players by the hundreds. Scuffles followed for a few minutes before the police in riot gear entered the field and managed to separate the few troublemakers from the cheering crowd. Immediately afterwards, a cordon of policemen took up positions in front of the Curva Nord where the Juventus supporters had returned, preventing them from returning to the pitch. Similarly in the other half of the pitch, more slowly, a larger number of policemen lined up across the pitch to contain the Azzurri’s enthusiasm, until even the Napoli fans returned to the Curva Sud from where they had come down.

Around 11.15pm, about half an hour before the final whistle, the stands of the Juventus fans were almost completely emptied. While on the other side of the stadium, the Azzurri fans resumed celebrating with cheers and waving of the flag. During the action of the police, several times they were asked to keep one of the entrances to the camp free to allow the arrival of the sanitary ware. There were in fact eight injured Neapolitan fans, two in hospital: one reportedly suffered a head injury and another a leg fracture and were reportedly transported to the Udine hospital. The two would not be serious.

From sources of the ASL Napoli 1 we learn that two people were injured by gunshots in the Piazza Garibaldi area and three others by the explosion of firecrackers. The first two were transported to the Ospedale del Mare and to Cardarelli, while the other three – all injured in the hands – were hospitalized in Vecchio Pellegrini.
