Fan falls from top of stand... 'flinching accident' during England FA Cup match
A fan who was delighted by the unexpected goal fell to the floor of the stadium.
Sports Bible, a sports media outlet, reported on the 28th (Korea time) that "Midstone fans fell from the top floor of Ipswich Stadium during the goal ceremony."
Maidstone United met Ipswich Town in the fourth round of the 2023/24 English FA Cup at Ipswich Portman Road in Suffolk, England, on the 27th (Korea time).
It was a huge surprise. Maidstone is a member of England's National League South. On the other hand, Ipswich belong to the English Football League Championship. Because the power gap was so huge, Ipswich were expected to win easily.
However, when I opened the lid, the game went unexpectedly. The first goal was Maidstone's. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Lamar Reynolds took the lead by scoring a goal with a clean chip shot.
Ipswich also countered. Jeremy Sarmiento's shot to the center in the 11th minute of the second half hit the defender and went into the goal.
In the end, the team that laughed was Maidstone. In the 21st minute of the second half, Sam Kone scored a comeback with a precise shot. Maidstone won 2-1 with no extra goal.
After the game, Madestone coach George Elocovie said, "It means a lot to our community to be together on a day like this. It's up to the players to enjoy the game against a fantastic championship team."
"We needed luck in the first half, but we showed resilience after that. I knew the defensive line was high."
Meanwhile, Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna said, "There's no doubt. It's a bad day for us. What an amazing score. It's a big day for the opponent, but it's a really bad day for us. We have to have a big reaction."
During the game, something dangerous happened in the stands. When Maidstone scored the first goal, a Maidstone fan on the top floor of the stadium fell to the ground.
Immediately, the game staff ran to the place where the fan fell. It is not yet known if the fan was injured. As the related video was released on social media, there is speculation that one fan did it on purpose.
