Police say dozens of Lech Poznan fans attacked buses with Sparta Prague supporters following a Champions League qualifying match.
Police said in a statement that Polish fans in 20 cars blocked the buses on a road on Czech territory Thursday morning after they crossed the Polish-Czech border near the town of Nachod, 75 miles northeast of Prague.
The Czechs were returning home after Wednesday's match in Poznan. Sparta won the second leg of the third qualifying round 1-0 and advanced on a 2-0 aggregate score.
Police said the Poles damaged the buses but nobody was injured. Following the incident, police escorted the buses to prevent further attacks.
