The reason is the banner of the fans of Željezničar, which shows a photo taken during the reintegration of Grbavica in 1996, which bothered the delegate of the match, Renato Buhić.
The head referee Haris Halkić from Cazin stopped the match, and the announcer warned several times that the match will be stopped if the banner is not removed.
The match continued after a short break, although the fans of Železničar did not remove this banner, while they pulled down all the other banners.
Not long after that, there was a new call from the delegates to remove the flag, which again did not happen, after which the special forces entered the stand and started hitting the fans of the club from Sarajevo.
