Fireworks force Swedish league derby suspension

The Stockholm soccer derby between Hammarby and Djurgarden was suspended due to Djurgarden supporters throwing fireworks onto the field. The game will resume without fans due to safety concerns. Hammarby was leading 2-0, and a draw would give rival Malmo the title. Djurgarden is tied on points with Hammarby, and a win could give them a chance to overtake Malmo. The disruption caused a lengthy delay and eventual suspension of the game. Some supporters refused to leave, leading to the game being rescheduled for Monday. Sweden’s Allsvenskan soccer league differs from most of Europe by starting in the spring and ending in the fall.
