All this prompted Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt to try to calm down the game before the Group E game. The firecrackers then exploded in the second half.
The troubles in the Greek stadiums are not new.
He subsequently received a three-year football ban and PAOK docked three points.
Three years ago, the league was also suspended temporarily when unrest erupted in front of an Athenian derby featuring the two best teams in Greece, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos.
Dusan Tadic played for Ajax on the field on Tuesday, opening the scoring in the 68th minute of the penalty spot after a handball and adding the second quarter of an hour later.
The progress in the best club competition in Europe has been made more impressive because Ajax – who won the last of his four titles in 1995 – had to go through three qualifying rounds and has long sold his best results.
He still holds the most titles in the Dutch league, although PSV are ahead of Ajax by five points this season and have won three of the previous four seasons.
"Ajax deserves to win trophies," Tadic told UEFA. "We first set ourselves the goal of going to the Champions League, which we did, and then we went to the next stage of UCL, which we did as well. "
"That's how you do it, setting goals and reaching them, in Europe and the Netherlands, we will do our best in all competitions and work hard for the trophies."
Real Madrid also goes through
Real Madrid may have difficulties at the national level, but Los Blancos know how to win trophies in the Champions League as three-time defending champion.
Real Madrid and Roma's opponents on Tuesday were already assured of joining the Group G round of 16 after CSKA's 2-1 defeat in Moscow, but the Spanish team again beat the semi-finalists in the UEFA Europa League. last season 2-0 in the Italian capital.
How could things have been different if Cengiz Under had not missed a golden opportunity for Roma in the first leg in the first half? A few meters from goal and blocked by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, he flew over the bar.
Moments later, Gareth Bale managed to get out of the stalemate – scoring his third goal in the Champions League – before Lucas Vazquez doubled his lead in the 59th.
Real Madrid have recovered from their first defeat against Eibar last weekend – the efforts of Courtois – in the first match under the permanent charge of Santi Solari.
The problems continue however for Eusebio Di Francesco of Rome. Roma are 18 points behind Juventus in Serie A and started Tuesday's game against a 1-0 defeat by Udinese, who lost 10 straight games against Giallorossi in the league and came from to sack his coach.
Eight clubs are now in the last 16 games: Barcelona – the only team to have preceded the match – Bayern Munich, Ajax, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Rome, Juventus and Manchester United.
