It got messy after the Nations League match between Croatia and Poland. A dozen football supporters were arrested by Croatian police after a brawl.

According to Croatia's interior minister, Polish supporters attacked Croatian supporters and then got into a fight with the police. Another fight between supporters broke out later at a different location in Osijek.

"A dozen people have been arrested and a police investigation has been initiated", the minister writes in social media.

Croatia won the home game 1–0.
