Śląsk Wrocław and Zagłębie Lubin's top division clash in Poland was overshadowed by an incident in which a fan was set on fire in the stands.
The supporter, wielding a flare, was sprayed with pepper spray by a member of the stadium's riot police and engulfed in flames, due to the chemical combustion.
The fan was turned into a human fireball and the astonishing incident was even recorded on video.
