The authorities took a number of measures to stabilize public order and tried to prevent the risk, but failed. Traffic is prohibited in the central area for the purpose of avoiding congestion. Firecrackers were also banned, but that didn’t stop Napoli fans from celebrating with flares and smoke bombs throughout the night. Three policemen were attacked as they tried to move the crowd.
At Dacia Stadium, Napoli and Udinese fans also faced each other as soon as the final whistle sounded. ANSA news agency said the home team’s fans were equipped with belts and batons. They are ready to use these items to attack the opponent.
RAI television confirmed that riot police quickly intervened to break up the scuffle. Six fans are said to have been injured after the clash. Before the match was about to end, security staff were mobilized to escort players and coaching staff out of the field.
Victor Osimhen and his teammates were surrounded by a crowd of fans and it took a long time to enter the tunnel. Napoli 16 points ahead of Lazio, while the season only has 5 rounds, thereby officially winning the Serie A 2022/23.
