In a dramatic start to the match at the Aviva Stadium, Drogheda's choice to switch ends met an unexpected delay as smoke filled the air from flares set off by fans. Multiple announcements were made over the PA system in efforts to curb the flare throwing, which unfortunately did not result in compliance, postponing the kick-off by several minutes as both teams awaited a clear field to begin the game.
As the atmosphere at the Aviva Stadium became increasingly tense with the use of flares, the game was paused to ensure safety and compliance. Despite urging by the announcers, fans continued to ignite flares, showing a disregard for the warnings, ultimately demonstrating the challenges event organizers face in managing crowd behavior and maintaining safety protocols during heated moments.
