Toronto FC announced on Thursday it is suspending all recognized supporter group privileges indefinitely as a 'thorough review' of its recognized supporter program is conducted after a fire delayed Wednesday night's Canadian Championship semifinal matchup between Toronto FC and the host Fury at TD Place Stadium.

"The safety of our fans, employees and supporters is the highest priority for TFC," the team said in a statement. "The events which took place in Ottawa last night involving TFC supporters were unacceptable and needlessly put the safety of others at risk.

"Due to the seriousness of this incident we are left with no choice but to suspend all recognized supporter group privileges indefinitely as we conduct a thorough review of TFC’s recognized supporter program. We are fully cooperating with the Ottawa Police Department as they investigate this incident and work to identify those responsible."

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.

Ottawa Police Const. Chuck Benoit says the investigation is ongoing, no one is in custody and no charges have been laid.

Benoit says no injuries have been reported and investigators are still trying to identify those involved.

Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group says members of the TFC supporters group smuggled a "small quantity of fireworks into the stadium and ignited them during the second half of the match."

It says the perpetrators were ejected from the stadium.

The statement added that all members of the visiting group were subjected to bag checks and security scans prior to entering the stadium and that "no fireworks or other devices were detected."

Toronto FC head coach Greg Vanney apologized on behalf of his team in his post-game media scrum, saying that his club is "embarrassed about the incident."

Toronto went on to win the match 1-0 on a goal from Jonathan Osorio.
