A football match Spartak-TSSKA in Luzhniki, Moscow – let’s focus not on the game itself but on its arrangement this time.
Sportivnaya metro station only lets people out and not in. Right at the exit fans are separated to prevent skirmishes.
It’s almost impossible to bring something prohibited, fans pass five points of inspection.
Fans may bring plastic bottles but without caps in the case they decide to throw full bottles in each other.
Fans start coming 2 hours before the match, the stadium opens 1,5 hours before. It’s the point of inspection at the entry to the stadium. Tickets are checked automatically by means of bar codes. However some “craftsmen” try to forge them …
The main point of inspection after the entry, here fans are searched again. Girls have a separate passageway.
At the grand stands fans are checked for the last time.
Resellers are always hard to detain. Violations are often recorded on cams.
Detained …
Some days before the match fan clubs bring big banners. The administration should watch over them – everything must be decent. Sometimes fans resort to cunning and shift letters on the banners …
The other day one of the fans was killed, the banner says “mourning”, fans agreed not to fight this time.
Protective ditch
In case fans want to run to the field
Nearly 2500 people are standing guard
Flares are lit
Dogs don’t like flares to be thrown on the field
Smoke flares
The first goal is kicked by Spartak
So many T-shirts saying “I’m Russian”
The dog seemed to support TSSKA…
One fight happened anyway: 3 fans of non-Slavic appearance were asked to leave, they started fighting, throwing chairs, one policeman was hospitalized. In general 11 policemen sought for medical advice.
This spot after the match, it’ll be compensated by the club.
All fans are recorded on cameras. Main violations – pyrotechnics use, fighting, broken chairs. During fighting police doesn’t interfere, it’s quite dangerous. However hooligans are detained after the match. To avoid it they move to other sectors.
Goal kicked by TSSKA .. another one ..
Thу end – this time Spartak lost the game!
Traditionally hand-out fans leave first.
Photographs of violators
No use to fool the police
This fan unfortunately wanted to grab a souvenir
120 violators are detained, most of them will pay a fine 1000 rubles (33 dollars).
Police is making corridors to the metro entries to prevent crushes.
However someone doesn’t like it.

1st –
OMG those Russians look like they have foetal alcohol syndrome like that kid sent back to Russia by his adopted American mum. 🙁
sausage fest
It looks like the Russians have struck a deal with the mother nature – when a child is born in Russia all the beauty goes for the girls the men get whatever’s left and everyone is happy – the girls get the beauty, the men get the beautiful girls.
LOL, idk why, but all of them looks like they came from some village, I think russia is one big village.
If Russia is village, what is Lithuania then?
Here we go again…
Football matches lack girls 🙂
I just love Russia!
The other day one of the players was killed, the banner says “mourning”, fans agreed not to fight this time.
========
It wasn’t one of the players, it was just a 22 y.o. Spartak fan, who was returning from a concert with his girlfriend and several friends (of both ages) when they got jumped on by a group of czechens with knives. Yuri Volkov got killed, some others wounded.
By “ticket resellers” you mean scalpers?
$33 seems very light fine. No wonder there is so much trouble. Each seat must cost five times as much to repair.
its russia bro, 1000 rubles for them equals 100 dollars for us
Russia shall remain white for a long, long time!!!!!!!!!
remind me to never go to a football game – looks like no fun whatsoever
Very fortunate for the oligarchs they are not at the library reading lest they find out how bad their getting screwed. Worse here in the U.S., look how our oligarchs just robbed us blind.
Reply meant for Valery, I wish the webmaster would modify the comment section. Still the best site on the internet.
If you want the birch, John, I am quite sure that there many oli’s who may oblige your fantasy.
please keep your shirts on next time…
Hah, fun after game… everyone HAS to go to the metro 😀
They probably hid the flares up their bum. 😉 Too hard to fit hand gun there.
A. Bunka here. 5 points of security and they still got flares in? Why don’t the Russkies just hand out guns to everybody at the front gate? That way nobody will cause no trouble.
Ok. other reply button. 🙂
The old Irish cops would set these guys straight, they would teach you by beating you with a club.
Haha ‘Omoh’ reflected is ‘homo’!
Yes, lame, but I don’t care…
This is why I watch games on TV.
Any body need a cop? LOL!!!
That`s what a real football atmosphere is…most games in West Europe are the rather dull.
Ole ola vperyod Spartak Moskva!!!
