The violence continued off the field when one of the attackers punched a 39-year-old home team player in the head on the way to the locker room.
Police detained the 36-year-old attacker on-site, while the 53-year-old had already left the premises; the younger man displayed aggressive behavior toward officers and a witness.
The 36-year-old attacker reported being subjected to a racially motivated insult during the altercation, leading to an investigation by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Both injured players from the home team suffered headaches, with one requiring on-site medical attention; police seized a football boot as evidence in the ongoing investigation.
