Bizarre scenes as fan attempts to PUNCH defender causing delay in Swedish top-flight clash between Goteborg and Oster as perpetrator is apprehended after attempting to escape

<p>Goteborg's Allsvenskan clash at home to Oster was halted when a fan tried to punch defender Sebastian Starke Hedlund, but missed. His team-mates then rallied around him and ushered the intruder off the pitch on Thursday. The perpetrator then tried to escape to the safety of the stands with the help of some supporters but he was eventually apprehended.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The match was paused, and then a long meeting took place to see if the fixture should be abandoned. After more than an hour's delay, the game resumed, and Oster went on to win the game 1-0. While nobody was hurt, this was a dark day in Swedish football.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Oster manager Martin Foyston said he did not want his players to go out again but they risked forfeiting the match. </p><p>He told <a href="https://swedenherald.com/article/fan-invades-pitch-and-attacks-oster-player-at-gamla-ullevi-match" target="_blank">Sweden Herald</a>: "I am really upset, same with the players. We really wanted to go home, but if we did, we would have lost 3–0. That we should lose 3-0? A tragic day for Swedish football. We had the chance as a football association, as a nation, to set a standard and an example, but we didn't take it. Such a thing may not happen next week, but it can happen again. And we had the chance as a football league to say that this is unacceptable behaviour."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="sv" dir="ltr">Några vill hjälpa honom, kanske hans polare.
