Italy vs. Serbia clash abandoned after violence



Ivan the Terrible...?




Italy's Euro 2012 Group C qualifier against Serbia was abandoned by UEFA after just six minutes had been played due to crowd disturbances. The game at Genoa's Luigi Ferraris stadium was delayed for 35 minutes after a section of Serbian fans threw fire crackers and flares in the direction of the north stand where Italian supporters were seated, and onto the pitch.







After a manhunt lasting half the night, Ivan was found in the baggage compartment of the last coach to leave Genoa. He was the leader of the troubles last night in Genoa, cutting the fence around the pitch and leading the hooligans live on TV.
