Stand collapses! Fan of LASK opponents Bodø/Glimt injured
Shocking scenes in Norway: A grandstand collapsed during a league match.
An unfortunate incident occurred in the stands during a Norwegian league match. Part of the away section collapsed during the game between Tromsø and Bodø/Glimt.
As police confirmed to "NRK", two visiting fans fell several meters. One person had to be taken to hospital injured, but remained conscious throughout.
"A lot of people surged forward. I saw people fall over and then a hole appeared. That's when I realized what had happened. My body was shaking violently afterwards, it was a terrible experience," "NRK" quoted a fan who was at the stadium.
Stand evacuated
Following the collapse, the away section was completely evacuated and the match was suspended. Play only resumed after 50 minutes, with the visiting supporters relocated to the main stand.
Bodø/Glimt ultimately secured a 2-0 victory. With four matchdays remaining, the club currently sits second on 62 points, tied at the top of the table with leaders Viking.
In the midst of a thrilling title race in the calendar-year season, Bodø/Glimt will host LASK in the UEFA Champions League on November 24.
