Match report: Dinamo - Hajduk 08/03-2008, one of the hottest derbies in Croatia!

The biggest derby of Croatian football had not attracted many spectators on Maksimir this time,due to the big difference in points between Dinamo and Hajduk (Dinamo is 15 points ahead), but that itself means a good ultra show without many scarvers.

Torcida proved that the low expectance was wrong,about 1200 people came to the Maksimir stadium south stand, looking very good with plenty of flags and loud singing the entire game. Only the Torcida's usual pyro show was below expected with only a few flares and firecrackers lit, but a large ammount of pyro stashed was found earlier that day on a police check of the away terrace.

The hosts, Bad Blue Boys ,were a bit underachieving this time, but had really nice look of the terrace with large flags in first row and a bit retro style of the fence. On the beginning of the match they lit a bunch of strobos as well as a very good pyro-show at the beggining of the second half in which they set alight three stolen banners, one from Tornado Zadar and two from Torcida. They also raised three banners ,two provocative and one in which they state their unwilling of Zagreb city plans to build Dinamo's stadium on a new location and rearrange Maksimir to buisness complex.
No major incidents occured, 27 people were arrested, some for alcohol and flares and some for attacking the police.

Alltogether, a solid ultra derby, perhaps with a slighlty better song display from Torcida and pyro from BBB.
