Juventus-Torino derby kicks off 1 hour late after fan seriously injured in clashes outside stadium

By The Associated Press

TURIN, Italy (AP) — The Serie A soccer derby between Juventus and Torino kicked off around an hour late after a fan was seriously injured in clashes between rival supporters outside the stadium on Sunday.

The Juventus fan is reportedly in serious but not life-threatening condition in hospital.

Juventus’ ultras — hard-core supporters — caused a delay to kickoff as they wanted the match to be postponed as a sign of support for the injured fan.

They had threatened a field invasion if the match went ahead but instead left the stadium before kickoff.

The other four games scheduled for Sunday evening kicked off around 10 minutes behind schedule, after waiting for updates from Turin.

By The Associated Press
Iran's dayslong funeral for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei began on Saturday, with authorities shutting down streets, airspace and daily life in Tehran as mourners commemorate the life of the man who led Iran for decades with an iron fist while confronting the West. Khamenei’s body was taken Wednesday to the Iraqi city of Najaf, holy for millions of Shiite Muslims worldwide, and also to Karbala where Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was killed in 680 AD. Thousands attended the funeral processions in Iraq before the body was to be returned to Iran. ___ This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.
