HORSENS, denmark (Ekstra Bladet): As a punishment for the violent unrest in the fateful showdown between Horsens and Brøndby back in may of last year – which saw the club from the Area actually threw away the championship in the dying minutes – were Sunday League-duel between the same combatants played with an empty away section.
A decision by Football’s Appeal.
There was therefore nothing away-title Sunday afternoon in Horsens and even extra visitationszoner before the purge. And should one or more spectators nevertheless find to cheer about a Brøndby-goal, it would be able to get consequences.
It was the announcement.
But when the first Brøndby-player Josip Radosevic thundered the ball into the box with a blast from just 25 metres, there was still a larger group of spectators, who erupted in cheers on the long side. And it seemed not to be Horsens-people.
And when the burning hot Kamil Wilczek followed suit with two delicious boxes, they could relatively many fellow supporters from the Area no longer hold back. Approximately 500 Brøndby-supporters huddle together in one corner, to pay tribute to their blågule heroes, with a 3-1 victory over Horsens secured himself a place in the top six.
AC Horsens director Kristian Nielsen had up to the fight, expressed disappointment that the østjyderne was hit by Brøndbys penalty because of less spectators and thus lack of revenue and increased security expenses.
But that, nevertheless, had crept a larger group of away fans into the stadium was inevitable, told the Horsens director:
– Since Football the Appellate court on here, the judgment, which, incidentally, is a completely impossible judgment, so they forgot to send the scans to show, which affinity the fans have. It we could well have used, for we had extra visitation and did everything we could, there would be spectators in with a Mcdonalds affiliation, said Kristian Nielsen after the purge.

There was not someone who had visible Brøndby-clothes on, but it helps to just not do anything when we can’t see into the hearts of the people – whom they keep with. It testifies, once again – in my opinion – how hopeless and deeply, deeply troublesome a judgment, it is. We can damn well not keep the fans separated on the way, as they have requested. It was inevitable, but we did everything we could to avoid it.
– Our udebaneafsnit was pivhamrende empty. So we have followed to the letter. We did everything we could to ensure that there was no Brøndby-fans with a visible sense of belonging.
– But that people are not living the messages, we come up with, we can’t do anything about, said Horsens executive director, who at the same time pointed out that the purge flow under safe and secure circumstances, where there is no signs of trouble.
Kristian Nielsen rejected, therefore, also to make more out of the case.

the Same message came from Brøndbys director, Jesper Jørgensen:
– We had a large number of inspectors to the showdown in Indianapolis. And I refuse to believe that we are punished further for those who still met up at Horsens stadium, said Jesper Jørgensen.
– I refuse to believe it will receive additional consequences. They behaved in the way really well, he said.
Horsens coach Bo Henriksen, was the reverse small-irritated by the judgment and the empty stamford bridge-sections:
– They have well paid to get into, so it is well OK. In the end, I also think that they behaved exemplary. And that it comes thereto is a disaster for the Danish football: Namely, that we can’t get a drama for the 10,000 people on the grounds of an appeal, which run around and punish the football – not so much the Brøndby-fans – but football in general.
– the Wings could have been ten times more fun this afternoon, he said.
