Ottawa police are investigating a fire that delayed Wednesday night’s Canadian Championship semifinal matchup between Toronto FC and the host Fury at TD Place Stadium.

The soccer game was delayed briefly late in the second half when TFC supporters set off flares and smoke bombs that led to fires in the stands that eventually made their way onto the pitch before being extinguished by security.

Toronto FC fans are ejected from the stadium after a flare was thrown onto the field during second half Canadian Championship soccer action between the Ottawa Fury FC and the Toronto FC, in Ottawa on Wednesday.
