Posted by Ajax's Champions League trip to AEK Athens descended into chaos after a petrol bomb exploded inside the stadium and visiting fans were embroiled in bloody clashes with police and Greek supporters.
The two sides met in a Group E match in Greece on Tuesday night - but the build up to the game was marred by violence in the stands.
Riot police were deployed to deal with the trouble as a fire raged inside Greece's Olympic stadium following a shocking explosion ahead of the early kick-off.
Police dispersed AEK fans, who threw plastic bottles and other objects at visiting supporters. No arrests were immediately reported but Ajax fans were also the target of flares thrown by AEK fans, with one seen brazenly launching a missile into the stands in plain view of riot police standing nearby.
He was then filmed running away from the scene as Ajax fans threw the firework away from danger and into an empty block of seats.
The authorities managed to curb the disorder in time for kick-off, meaning the match went ahead as planned, though a series of firecrackers were heard exploding just after the start of the second half.
As anarchy reigned before kick-off, even players tried to intervene to keep a lid on proceedings.
Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt was pictured over towards the away end to try and prevent further violence.
Players from both sides were seen to be rubbing their eyes as smoke drifted across the Athens Olympic Stadium.
Though they were surrounded by row upon row of empty seats, Ajax supporters could be seen crammed inside a small section of the stadium.
The shocking scenes follow reports on Monday night that Ajax fans had been involved in violence after arriving in Greece. Police also clashed with mostly Greek fans in parts of central Athens earlier on Tuesday and late Monday.
Rival Greek supporters were involved in the violence near the city's police headquarters. Traffic was blocked after youths hurled petrol bombs at rival supporters and police.
On the pitch, Ajax earned themselves a spot in the last 16 with a 2-0 win. AEK have lost all five of their group games.

Wire fences stood between them and the pitch, while glass barriers prevented them from escaping - even as they cowered from the explosion.Nothing to see here, just an AEK fan lobbing a firework into the Ajax end. pic.twitter.com/JVDi3BCjbL— Football Tweets (@FutballTweets) November 27, 2018
