DTotD: Match abandoned after Helsingborg keeper hit by invader
Tuesday was not a good day for Helsingborg goalkeeper Par Hansson. When his side scored first against Malmo, the home fans did not appreciate it and threw a firecracker that landed near him. With a ringing in his ears, Hansson received treatment on the pitch and while that happened, a Malmo fan marched up from behind him and gave him a shove before being taken down by a delayed swarm of police and Helsingborg players.
The referee ordered all the players off the pitch after that and the match was abandoned 20 minutes later. A series of incidents involving fireworks at Swedish matches has prompted the SvFF to ban them from stadiums and referees are required to stop play if they see them in the stands.
Anyway, hopefully Hansson just went home and took a nap after all this.
