Tripoli Derby Abandoned After Violence Erupts On And Off Pitch

A soccer match between two teams, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahly, in Tripoli had to stop because of problems with the fans.

Al-Ittihad scored a goal, and after that, a player protested and hurt the referee.

Then, fans from Al-Ahly went onto the field.

The game was stopped because it wasn't safe for the players and referees.

Outside the stadium, fans caused more trouble, attacking security, and setting fire to a bus and police car.

The fans of Al-Ahly said that their actions were caused by something that an Al-Ittihad player did.
