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.

Analysis: The world Washington built is fraying. What comes next?

The United States is confronting a global security environment that increasingly resembles the outcome its Cold War adversaries once hoped to produce: a divided West, weakened alliances, economic exhaustion, multiple simultaneous wars and declining confidence in American leadership. That does not mean today’s crises were orchestrated according to some surviving Soviet master plan. The Soviet Union is gone, and the threats facing Washington now come from several different states with different interests. But the strategic effect is strikingly familiar. Early NATO assessments of Soviet intentions warned that Moscow sought to weaken the democratic powers, deny the West a secure European base and ultimately exhaust North America economically. Now, NATO says Russia is again trying to reconfigure the Euro-Atlantic security order through military force, sabotage, cyberattacks, coercion and disinformation. The difference is that much of the pressure now confronting the West is occurring simultaneously — and some of the damage to alliance cohesion is self-inflicted.
