Desert scenes after the Zurich derby are reminiscent of the shame of Zurich in October 2011
The Zurich derby on Saturday evening offered everything a footballer’s heart desires: a thrilling party in front of a fast 16,000 spectators. The fans are back in the stadium – but so are the hooded pyro idiots. After the final whistle, FCZ fans provided proof that Switzerland is still not in control of its chaos. The shame of Zurich 2.0.
Exactly ten years after the shame of Zurich, the desolate scenes are repeated. Masked FCZ chaots throw pyros into the GC sector. GC fans manage to throw back fireworks. The hundred of guest fans in Letzigrund pulls loudly back into their south curve. It was a spectacular game – then FCZ hotheads fell, the bombshell mood and caused fear in the Letzigrund.
Torches thrown into the fans
The first disgrace in Zurich occurred on October 2, 2011, also at the Zurich Derby in Letzigrund. When some GC fans burned various FCZ emblems in the 70th minute of the game, a then 23-year-old man lost his nerve.
He disguised himself and ran to the GC corner with a colleague. Once there, the two of them threw two torches, which were heated to around 2000 degrees, into the crowd. A spectator was hit in the shoulder and slightly injured.
The bodies of fire caused panic. While some of the GC fans fled the stadium, others fought with FCZ supporters. The accused, who repeatedly hit a GC fan in the back of the head, is also divided among these. According to the prosecutor, throwing the torch could have caused serious injuries.
Pyrower convicted
The torch thrower was charged. On the instruction of the Federal Supreme Court, the Zurich Higher Court had to revise its first judgment. The Supreme Court condemned the man Finally for attempted simple bodily harm and other offenses to 13 months imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs. The sentence has been suspended. The probation period was also reduced from three to two years.
The audience got away with the horror on Saturday evening, but the whistles against the chaos were clear. The new shame of Zurich – there were children in the stadium who screamed and ran away. (kes / gf)
