This unusual scene is offered to us by the Europa Conference League, and the meeting between Helsinki and Aberdeen.
That’s also the European Cup. Thousands of Aberdeen supporters traveled to Helsinki this Thursday evening for the 5th day of the Europa Conference League, and we can salute their courage. On the one hand because this meeting opposed two teams already eliminated, with no victory in four matches. And on the other hand, because you don’t have to be afraid of the cold to go to Finland at this time of year.
This match also gave rise to an unusual scene at the start of the second half. The match had to be interrupted for a few moments due to the behavior of the Scottish supporters, who had fun throwing snowballs at the Finnish goalkeeper. The latter called out to the referee, who warned the delegate, who asked the announcer to convey the following message, in essence: stop this nonsense immediately, or the match will be definitively stopped.

The game was able to come to an end, and ended with a score of 2-2. HJK led 2-0 after 33 minutes, but the Aberdeen players responded to give their teasing fans something to celebrate.
