Seven fans of the Montenegrin club were arrested after the game. They were pressed for serious charges by the Ankara police.

After the first fan bus was let go, the second one was stopped on the way out of Ankara under accusations that they were members of a criminal group.

"According to what we know, they were kidnapped and taken into custody with serious charges of terrorism and planning murder, which is not true because they were there to support their team, but even photos from the match and fan props didn't help them prove it to the Turkish police," the group's leader Aleksandar Ivanovic told Vijesti.

All seven fans were acquitted. The Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that all fans should return to the country on Monday.
