The teams were just about to walk out into the changing rooms after the warm-up in ABB Arena Nord when the upload took an unexpected turn.
This when the fire alarm in the arena went off at full volume, which forced people to evacuate the arena and the players to wait for the start of the match.
– It is some form of pyrotechnics that is said to have been set off somewhere in the arena, which has caused a fire alarm to start going off here. We see that the arena is basically empty and is being emptied, says TV4’s commentator Linus Eklund in the broadcast.
A new start time has not yet been set.

20.00 the match started again after over an hour’s delay. But some who did not get to see the match in place in the arena were the AIK fans.
That when they were ported for security reasons according to the league’s sports manager Erik Ryman.
– For security reasons, the decision has been made that no AIK supporters may return to the stands, he says to The Express.
Once the match started, it was Västerås who got to celebrate in front of their fans after they scored a 3–1 victory to collect important points on the top teams.
