KV Kortrijk fans launch crowdfunding for injured stewards
The match had already been delayed due to Bengali fire and two minutes before the end referee Lawrence Visser sent everyone to the changing rooms because pyrotechnic material was thrown onto the field from the visitors’ section. It took a long time before the party could resume. Home fans had made their way to the visiting supporters, where they were hit hard. Perhaps both clubs can expect sanctions.
