Anji beat Liverpool in the Europa League match
In the match of the fourth round of the group stage of the Europa League, Anzhi Makhachkala beat English Liverpool on the field of the stadium in Cherkizovo. The final score of the match - 1:0 - was set at the very end by Lasina Traore, who gracefully left the defender and threw the Liverpool goalkeeper with a volley. It should be noted that Liverpool, having practically solved the problem of leaving the group, arrived in Moscow without ten players from the main team.
The match, which took place at the Lokomotiv stadium, despite the loud signboard, gathered only 13,000 fans (330 of them settled in the guest sector). The reason for this is the tough measures that Anji took after the provocative behavior of Moscow fans at the club's previous matches in Cherkizovo. Recall that at that time several hundred Moscow fans, dissatisfied with the lease of the Cherkizovsky stadium to Makhachkala residents, cheered in the arena against the Russian club, chanting nationalist slogans and using pyrotechnics. In August, after the match between Dagestanis and the Dutch club AZ, there were clashes between fans in the city.
As a result, tickets for today's match could only be purchased through the official Anji fan club and through the Russian Liverpool fan club. Because of this, many Moscow fans of the English team did not get to the stadium.
Despite the measures taken, reinforced police squads were on duty near the stadium. There were no excesses in front of the arena, riot police only detained several Anji fans who lit fireworks in front of the stadium entrance.
