Scandalous scenes at Örjans Vall - HBK lost the lead

A small number of masked spectators in Elfsborg's dugout lit flares and set fire to a banner. As a result, the Allsvenskan match between Halmstad and Elfsborg at Örjans Vall was temporarily interrupted.

Players and referees left the field when disturbances occurred with about a quarter of an hour left to play.

All parties involved agreed that the match would resume after the necessary safety measures were taken. It resumed after approximately 20 minutes.

We are moving additional security guards there, match delegate Per Eliasson told TV4 after the so-called match meeting.

Halmstad led 1-0 at half-time, but Arber Zeneli equalized and Halmstad must continue to wait for its first Allsvenskan victory of the year.

In today's second Allsvenskan match, Gais and Degerfors drew 1–1 after a late away goal by substitute Erik Lindell.
