LOTS. I think in the 15 minutes after the goal, about 40 flares were lit up. A few made their way onto the pitch.

Smoke covering the pitch. It stayed this way for a few minutes - we were surprised they played through it and didn't stop play. We couldn't see the action for a couple minutes.

Time to celebrate with more flares - this one was lit just two rows below us. Time for us to leave :)
