Act of revenge after derby? Hooded Ultras storm train and attack fans
Udine (Italy) - After the northern Italian soccer derby between Udine Calcio and FC Venezia (3:2), serious riots broke out on Saturday evening. Around 50 Ultras from the hosts and Austria Salzburg are said to have stormed a train after the game and attacked the Venice fans on board.

Before they forced their way into the carriages, they are said to have thrown stones at the train. The violent supporters caused the train driver to have to initiate an emergency stop at 6.09 pm at the station in the suburb of Basiliano.
Once he had stopped, the Ultras stormed the train and attacked around 300 Venice fans with sticks. According to the Italian newspaper"La Repubblica", this led to a violent brawl in which a Venice supporter and an Austrian fan suffered serious injuries and had to be taken to hospital.
Two officers from the Venice and Udine police forces and seven other people were also injured. The police were able to arrest eight people, including five Austrians, a Bosnian, an Albanian and an Italian.
There is a fan friendship between Udine and Austria Salzburg. According to media reports, the supporters from Austria may have arrived as "reinforcements" to support the home fans in a revenge action from the first leg.
Former Bayer Leverkusen top talent Iker Bravo shoots Udine Calcio to victory

On October 30 last year, Venice fans attacked and beat numerous Udine supporters at Santa Lucia station after the first leg.
During the match on Saturday, the away fans then displayed a provocative banner mocking the ultras from Udine in reference to the attack from the first leg.
The soccer took a back seat, at least after the match, although the game offered plenty of excitement.
After the home side had already led 2-0, Venice equalized to 2-2 before the Spaniard and former Bayer Leverkusen player Iker Bravo (20) scored the winner in the 84th minute for the team of former Bundesliga 2 and 3 coach Kosta Runjaic (53, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, MSV Duisburg, VfR Aalen, Darmstadt 98).
