Warrenpoint goalkeeper Mark Byrne was involved in an incident with spectators in injury-time, which saw the fence collapse and fans spill onto the field. The melee occurred the day after the Northern Ireland Football League released a statement highlighting fan behaviour. The 12 Irish Premiership clubs agreed to take measures to tackle a recent rise in alleged incidents of "unacceptable spectator behaviour". "Like everyone, I saw lots of people coming together, but I couldn't see why or how," added Ballymena United manager David Jeffrey.
