Swiss football match ends in burns and riots
There was serious rioting in Aarau on Saturday during the football match between Aarau and the Bernese Young Boys (YB). Five YB fans suffered burns during the game - due to their own pyrotechnics. They had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.
Some of the YB fans were seriously injured, said a police spokesman on Sunday at the request of news agency Keystone-SDA. The fans were taken to various hospitals by ambulance.
