It became dramatic even before the comeback when Sweden faced Hungary in handball.
Suddenly, plexiglass chips rained down from the ceiling onto the pitch and hit the Hungarian goalkeeper.
– It’s a big scandal, says Magnus Grahn, SVT expert.
Tonight, Sweden plays the first match of this weekend’s double-gender rematch against Hungary in Trollhättan.
The double international started in spectacular fashion before it even started.
At 4 in the afternoon, half an hour before the game and in the middle of the warm-up, the plexiglass cracked in the basketball hoisted on the roof and all the glass collapsed to the ground where the Hungarian goalkeeper Melinda Szikora was.
– It was like a glass downpour. He put on something, but he seems to be fine and he should be able to play, national team press manager Daniel Vandor tells Sportbladet.

“It shouldn’t happen”
Hungary had to warm up in a small hallway next door and the game was postponed for a quarter of an hour to get all the chips out of the ground.
– They took it well, the Hungarians, says Vandor.
SVT broadcast the game and studio expert Magnus Grahn reacted strongly.
– It is a splendor, a scandal of splendor indeed. This is embarrassing. That shouldn’t happen, Grahn says on the SVT broadcast.
