Three of the away team's fans have been apprehended during the game for throwing smoke bombs. Another one of the detained fans was caught with a smoke bomb hidden in his pants.
One more Romanian has been arrested for smashing a bottle in the stadium fence.
One of the fans has been banned from attending sport events in Bulgaria or abroad for a period of one year. The others have received fines between BGN 300 and BGN 400.
