Three Wanderers fans were arrested for throwing flares, while police are still reviewing CCTV footage from Allianz Stadium to identify and arrest more perpetrators this week. Financial Advice The third person arrested for throwing flares – a 16-year-old boy – will be dealt with under the Young Offenders Act.
Flares were thrown from the crowd on to the stadium turf just before match kick-off, and another was lobbed close to Wanderers goalkeeper Ante Covic after the visitors scored the opening goal in the 24th minute. Afterwards, the Western Sydney fans celebrated with their team and were deliberately kept back while Sydney FC’s fans left early, ensuring there was no encounter between the two groups outside the ground.
