Court officials in Greece say five Polish men have been convicted of public order offenses after clashes broke out at a Europa League match between Aris and Jagiellonia Bialystok.
Four of the Polish fans were released Friday after their sentences were suspended, while the fifth received a 29-month jail sentence for assault and other offenses.
Clashes between rival fans occurred outside the Harilaou Stadium on Thursday, while Polish fans also clashed with police inside the stadium at halftime.
Aris advanced 4-3 on aggregate after Thursday's match ended in a 2-2 draw.
