In short the essentials

  • The game between Waterford and Shamrock will have to be interrupted for minutes.
  • Because of the rockets that exploded due to anarchy.
  • Luckily no one was hurt.

Bengalis and torches are regularly lit in many football stadiums around the world. But what happened in Ireland on Friday is very rare.

The match between Waterford FC and Shamrock Rovers had to be interrupted due to an incident. Several missiles jump overhead and explode.

The player must be treated

One of the home team members even hit a firecracker. He should seek treatment, but fortunately remains unharmed. The referee may resume play after an eight-minute break.

The speaker announced through a loudspeaker that the game would be stopped if the rockets exploded again. The Rovers won 3-1 without further ado. The shock for the players will be deep.
