At a certain point, New scuffles broke out near Mc Donald's in Quattromiglia, with Cosenza supporters who threw torches and stones at the Giallorossi bus.

There were many more Catanzaro fans than the 800 to whom access to the stadium had been limited. The away sector of Cosenza has over 1900 seats and was almost full.
