The game was suspended for 12 minutes due to pyrotechnics used by fans of the Torcida group, which caused smoke that obscured visibility at the sold-out Poljud stadium. As a result, UEFA ordered that Hajduk’s next home European fixture against Belgian side Sint-Truidense be played behind closed doors, depriving the club of significant ticket revenue estimated at over 1 million euros based on previous sales. Additionally, the club faces fines totaling 96,000 euros, including 80,000 euros for spectators occupying safety aisles and 16,000 euros for other violations.
