The match was immediately stopped and the teams went back to the locker room. The Malmö fans around the away stand quickly retreated as more and more rockets started flying towards the green.
On social media on video one huge bomb can be seen exploding right at the policemen’s feet, causing fear in the stadium.
A few minutes later, the police arrive to separate the Union fans from the enraged Swedish fans.
