Soccer is a very good sport. Track and field, especially the javelin competition, is a very good sport. But the two should not mix.
Unfortunately, Malmo player Tobias Sana thought it would be a good idea to mix the two as he took a corner flag and threw it at the IFK Goteborg fans like it was a javelin.

Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Malmo and IFK is a major rivalry so it's no surprise that things got heated, but throwing things at fans is taking things way too far.
According to reports, there were pitch invaders and reckless flares. The IFK fans then set off bangers along the touchline where the Malmo players were warming up. The bangers were intense and even caused a cameraman to shake his camera while showing the match.

After Sana threw the corner flag at the fans, the match was abndoned, which is probably smart for everyone involved. Things had already gone too far and it probably wasn't going to calm down.
