An Italian playoff match between Sampdoria and Salernitana was abandoned after chaos broke out at the Stadio Arechi. Furious Salernitana fans hurled flares, seats, and firecrackers onto the pitch as their team trailed 2–0, forcing players off and riot police onto the field. The referee’s attempt to restart the match failed amid further crowd violence. The game had already been rescheduled due to a food poisoning outbreak among Salernitana players. With a 4–0 aggregate lead, Sampdoria escaped relegation, while Salernitana’s season ended in disgrace.
