After two minutes of the second half, the match was paused for 45 minutes for safety reasons.
How about bangers thrown in?
– I think it’s fun, says Gais Axel Henriksson to SVT Sport.
You think it’s fun?
– Yes.
What is fun?
– Dude, it’s a derby and things happen, our skulls are on fire and the skulls of those in the stands are on fire. It might not be smart to say anything more, but I think so, Henriksson thinks.
Even if the match is postponed?
– No one is hurt, there is a little banging and I don’t know how it works if you are standing nearby, if you get hurt from them, if it is a bomb. I have no idea. No one was hurt, so maybe I think the match was paused a bit too long, I don’t know.
Gustav Svensson: “Too unnecessary”
IFK Gothenburg’s relieved captain Gustav Svensson has a different opinion about the pyrotechnics.
– The fact that there was such a long break disturbed our rhythm and that was not something we wanted. Bangers don’t belong on a football pitch, can only be injuries and can only be mistakes. It’s fucking unnecessary, he says.
Gais Axel Henriksson thought it was fun.
– Everyone is different, replies Svensson.
