The Football Association has investigated the incident to see if the organizing association, IFK Göteborg, has done what they could to prevent and counter disorderly conduct. Now, they are proceeding to the football's disciplinary committee, which will make a decision on whether IFK Göteborg has fulfilled its order and arrangement responsibility.

What happened in the Allsvenskan match at Gamla Ullevi was that a man got onto the field and attacked Östers player Sebastian Starke.

I turn around and see a person coming towards me. At first, I thought he would take a lap of honor on the field or hug me. But then I look back quickly and see that the arm is above me and at that moment I realize he's going to hit me, Starke said to Max after the match, which was completed after the man was apprehended and taken off the field.

The man is reported to the police, suspected of assault and breach of the order law.
