An enraged soccer fan rushed out onto the field Thursday and took a swipe at Sevilla goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović in an act that shocked the stadium.
Thursday’s Europa League game between Philips Sport Vereniging (PSV) and Sevilla broke down late during the second leg of the Knockout Round playoff series at Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, Netherlands, according to the New York Post when a young man in a black jacket and jeans jumped onto the field and made a bee-line straight for the Sevilla goalie.
“I never saw anything like it, I’m not going to say what I really wanted to do,” Dmitrović said after the game, per ESPN. “I’m glad I was aware of where he was coming from and was able to stop him. Otherwise, other things could have happened.”
