Pyrotechnics and tension: the impressive images of the Copenhagen derby

ByDavid Mitchell

The Danish football classic between Copenhagen and Brøndby left one of the most impressive postcards of the day due to the large amount of pyrotechnics used by the visiting stands, which filled the stadium with a dense layer of black smoke, causing the start of the match to be postponed for five minutes to regain visibility.

After the match, which ended 1-0 for the locals, Søren Kristensen, general manager of Brøndby, criticized the excessive use of pyrotechnics in the pre-match, especially due to the history of restrictions on visiting fans in derbies.
