Some devoted Djurgarden supporters found themselves with tickets in the home section.

Remarkably, many of these fans vaulted over barriers to reunite with fellow supporters upon realizing that the club had not completely sold out its tickets.

Footage emerged showing fans disregarding the stewards’ warnings as they scrambled to join the away crowd.

Videos of Djurgarden fans invading the away section quickly spread online.

One observer noted: “This is genuinely entertaining.”

Another remarked: “It’s quite embarrassing that they managed to obtain home tickets for a European semi-final.”

A different viewer commented: “I doubt this is permitted. They should adhere to their designated spots in the away section.”

One user shouted: “Get them out.”
