Tensions were high ahead of and during Serie A’s Sunday afternoon clash between Torino and Juventus, with reports of a paper bomb going off.
Torino hosted Juventus in the season’s second Derby della Mole, and prepared a special welcoming committee for the Juventus players and fans who traveled to the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
Sky Sport Italia reports that the Juventus bus was attacked upon its arrival, pilloried by stones from the Torino fans. Incidents were not restricted to just outside the stadium however, as a paper bomb went off in a section of the Curva Primavera.
Sky Sport Italia added that nine fans were injured by the paper bomb, and were subsequently transported to the hospital.
The media report however that none of those injuries were serious, with the explosive in causing more unrest than harm.
