Viktoria Plzen-Fiorentina Match Suspended Due to Fan Behavior

Viktoria Plzen-Fiorentina was suspended for a few minutes by the referee who decided to stop the match due to the behavior of the home fans. The Czech supporters, at the 63rd minute, threw some flares and smoke bombs onto the field, thus causing the match to be interrupted for about five minutes. The gesture infuriated Nico Gonzalez, who tried to remedy the situation, but his attempt was unsuccessful. While Fiorentina was managing the ball near their own goal, the Viktoria Plzen fans threw flares onto the field, nearly hitting the Viola players. The referee thus took the ball asking the players for time so that the flares thrown on the field could be extinguished. The wait, however, got on Nico Gonzalez's nerves who ran with a water bottle to try to extinguish the pyrotechnic objects, but his attempt was futile. Great frustration for the Argentine winger who remained staring at the Plzen fans in a gesture of challenge mixed with annoyance. The forward then decided to take the flares and throw them off the field with the referee waiting for the smoke to clear.
