CAGLIARI, Sardinia (AP) — Napoli’s Serie A match at Cagliari had to be temporarily halted in the first half after trouble between rival supporters in the stadium on Sunday.

The match was stopped for around eight minutes after a Cagliari banner appeared to spark an angry reaction from Napoli’s traveling fans in the 25th minute.

Objects were thrown over the nets and barriers between the away section and the home fans at the Unipol Domus stadium. Players from both teams went over to talk to their respective fans to try to calm the situation.
