In the evening, the operations management gave a summary report of what the situation was during the day. The arrival of around 2,000 guest fans went without any special incidents.

At least one person suffered serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. When the police arrived, the attackers fled. The officers will initiate several investigations into suspected bodily harm.
