May 13, 1990. History date. Serbian rivals in Belgrade come to play in Zagreb. Guided in the tribune, among other things, by the infamous Tiger Ark. Serbian fans burned Zagreb before the match.
A match that would never start: jars took place in the stands, forcing police to intervene even in the green field to stop fans of the two teams fighting among them. Fists, hard stuff, even some armed with knives.
Most of the rule forces had come from Serbia.
What was to happen that day remains something inexplicable and difficult to trade. Impossible, let's say. A Bosnian police officer, Refik Ahmetov, throws down a Dinamo fan and starts hitting him with a stick of rage.
22-year-old Dinamo captain, Zione Boban, intervenes, kicking the police and forcing them to surrender.
Dinamo Zagreb fans defend and take away their talent.
The gun would end only late in the evening, inside and outside the stadium, with a river of arrested (147) and wounded (138). Boban was barred from playing soccer for six months, losing the chance to play in the 1990 World Cup with Yugoslavia.
But he became a hero for many in Croatia. His violation became a war startup because of this event, political reports were irritated to launch a bloody war later.
Croatians call Boban's kick “Independence violation” In fact, from this moment on, the collapse of Yugoslavia had officially begun.
