"Moments after the match kicked off, there was a three-minute delay as sections of a 1,500-strong away end launched several fireworks into the Forest penalty area. Defender Jair Cunha had to take evasive action as he had his back to them and Neco Williams also had to duck as he tried to carry one away."
"Fenerbahce defender Archie Brown, who was part of Derby's academy as a youngster, also had to intervene and carry some of the pyrotechnics off the pitch while urging calm from his side's fans. Forest and the Turkish club could now be set for UEFA punishment."
During Nottingham Forest's Europa League play-off second leg against Fenerbahce at the City Ground, approximately 1,500 away fans threw fireworks onto the pitch moments after kickoff, forcing a three-minute delay. Defenders Jair Cunha and Neco Williams had to take evasive action, while Fenerbahce's Archie Brown helped remove pyrotechnics and appealed for calm. Additional fireworks were launched when Fenerbahce scored in the 22nd minute through Kerem Aktürkoglu. Both clubs face potential UEFA disciplinary action. Forest maintained their 3-0 first-leg advantage and advanced toward the last 16.
