Riot Police Intervene As Rival Serie A Fans Clash

Violence overshadowed Inter Milan’s Serie A meeting with Genoa after disorder broke out between rival supporters outside the Luigi Ferraris Stadium before kick-off.

Police were forced to intervene rapidly as clashes erupted on surrounding streets, with footage circulating online showing riot vans arriving and at least one vehicle engulfed in flames as officers attempted to regain control. Authorities moved in to separate the groups and prevent the situation from escalating further.

According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, trouble began when objects were thrown by sections of the home support towards Inter fans gathered in a designated area. The incident prompted a response from the visiting side’s ultras, who allegedly pushed through barriers in an effort to confront Genoa supporters, triggering direct confrontations between the two groups.

Law enforcement eventually restored order, allowing the match to proceed under heightened security measures.

On the pitch, Inter ensured the drama remained off it, securing a 2-1 victory. Goals from Yann Bisseck and captain Lautaro Martínez put the visitors in control before Vitinha pulled one back for Genoa in the second half. The result lifts the Nerazzurri to 33 points after 15 matches, strengthening their grip on top spot in the Serie A table.
