Dinamo Zagreb appealed against UEFA suspension for violence in Romania

Romanian Times

Dinamo Zagreb has appealed to UEFA about the three points it lost owing to fan riots during a match against Romanian team FC Timisoara in Europa League play.

UEFA has confirmed that NK Dinamo Zagreb has lodged an appeal against the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body's decision on Friday 30 October that the club should lose three points following crowd disturbances during a match against FC Timişoara on 1 October.

The date of the appeals hearing has not yet been determined.

Over 500 Croatian fans went to Timisoara for the match, which Dinamo Zagreb won by a score of 3-0.

A total of 148 Croats were detained by Romanian authorities in Timisoara following the riots. Police said they had acted after fans had engaged in violence before and during the match.

Forty-seven Croats and 24 Romanians were detained and fined for disturbing the peace before the match, police spokesman Emil Andrei told the Romanian Times, after they had destroyed street bars on Unirii Square in Timisoara.

Five Croatians were lightly injured but did not need medical assistance.

Another 101 Croatians had been detained by police, spokeswoman Daniela Stanciu told the Romanian Times. They were detained after they started throwing torches and destroyed a fence at the stadium before the match as they met Romanian fans.

The detained Croatians were identified and photographed, and the data transmitted to Croatian police who were accompanying them, Stanciu said.

The detained Croats were then put into their cars and coaches and escorted by police to the Romanian western border town of Cenad.
