Fans left RPL matches en masse. They opposed the detention of fans

Fans of the Zenit and Dynamo football clubs left the stands of the stadium in St. Petersburg before the end of the first half of the Russian Premier League match, thus they opposed the detentions of the fans. This is reported by Interfax.

Several thousand Zenit fans left the stands in the 44th minute of the match. Several hundred Dynamo fans also left.

Tula Arsenal tweeted that the stands of this team, as well as Lokomotiv, were empty in the 30th minute of the meeting. The match was held in Tula.

Recall that in St. Petersburg on the night of December 1, the police massively detained football fans before the game "Zenith" - "Spartak". Three Spartak fans were subsequently arrested for 15 days, and several dozen more were fined. Some of them were reported to use obscene language, while others were "offensively molesting an unknown man". The media claimed that some of them were planning a brawl with Zenit fans.

In addition, Valery Bevz, who started the Spartak fan sector, was banned from going to matches for 1.5 years, he was also fined 5,000 rubles for organizing obscene chants against football player Artem Dzyuba.

In connection with the incident, Spartak fans published a statement and called the detentions "outrageous". They also called on other fans to leave the matches of the 19th round of the RPL in the 30th minute.
