Some fans rushed into the pitch a few minutes later, and after they ran into the pitch for the first few minutes, they became violent, but at that they did not destroy properties until later on.
Some reports say that before they started destroying properties, the fans were snapping pictures of the brand new pitch.
They posed at the goal post, in the net, and in the technical crew stand.
As the crowd started getting bigger, one of the security personnel sprayed tear gas, and at that time, the real commotion started.
At that point, enraged fans started destroying things.
Reporters watched as they tore the net for one of the goal posts and started destroying the technical crew and substitute bench.
