While the majority of the matches proceeded without incident, one notable pre-game conflict was recorded at the stadium. Security measures were in place to separate Turkish supporters from other groups, assigning them a dedicated stand with physical netting barriers erected around the area. Despite these preventative measures, the barriers failed to prevent the volatile situation from escalating.
A physical altercation quickly erupted between supporters of “Kauno Žalgiris” and “Beşiktaş.” The confrontation involved the throwing of various objects; reports indicated that items, including a nearby trash receptacle, were utilized in the ensuing fight. Bottles and other debris were thrown back and forth between the opposing groups. Observation also noted instances of aggressive gesturing exchanged between the sides.
Such gestures were visible emanating from the Turkish contingent towards the Lithuanian supporters, with similar reciprocal gestures observed originating from the Lithuanian side. Throughout the duration of the disturbance, the intervention from security personnel appeared limited. The overall atmosphere, while generally calm for the matches themselves, was marred by this significant pre-game conflict.
