Dinamo Zagreb defeats Hajduk Split amidst banner arson incident

During a football match between Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Dinamo, a significant incident occurred involving the home team's fan banner. Dinamo Zagreb secured the win, extending their lead over second-placed Hajduk Split to 18 points. At the start of the match, the central banner belonging to the 'Bad Blue Boys' ultras was set on fire in the stands. Reports suggest that members of 'Torcida', the ultras group supporting Hajduk Split, infiltrated the stadium by disguising themselves as security personnel. These individuals reportedly placed fireworks under the banner to ignite it. Stadium staff attempted to extinguish the flames, but the banner was damaged and eventually torn into several pieces. The event caused a notable disruption during the match between the two historical rivals in Zagreb.
