It seems that the decision to play matches without fans for fear of the outbreak of the new Corona virus did not reach Russia yet, but rather it developed into a violent war-like battle between the fans of the two teams that led to the stoppage of play and the intervention of the players.
The Italian and Emirati football and a number of other tournaments in the world decided to contest the matches without fans, fearing the outbreak of the new Corona virus, but the Russian Cup championship witnessed the new between the fans of Akhmat and its guest Zenit in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
The confrontation between the fans started in the break between the two halves when the Zenit fans took off their shirts as a kind of celebration, which the fans of the host team did not like and a confrontation broke out and reached the field of the stadium.
The stadium was also affected by what happened as the players stopped the match and moved to break the clash between the two fans. After the fight ended, the match was returned, which saw the visiting team Zenit win 2-1 to qualify for the next round.
