A romantic moment at a football match in Belarus has gone viral after it was nearly ruined by an overly eager match steward and nearly ended in an on-pitch brawl.
FC Smorgon player Vladislav Shubovich had planned to propose to his girlfriend during his side’s first-division clash against rivals Volna Pinsk.
And in the 85th minute, the perfect moment presented itself.
With his side 1-0 up, the 22-year-old defender dramatically found himself on the scoresheet for only the second time and he knew exactly how he wanted to celebrate.
Shubovich raced over to the crowd and pointed straight at his girlfriend and beckoned her to the touchline.
In doing so, other fans made their way towards the goal hero and up stepped the steward.
The security guard pushed away some eager fans as Shubovich’s long-time girlfriend made her way towards her man.
However, before she could reach him, she received a forceful shove from the steward and the heartwarming moment turned to anger.
After witnessing his beloved nearly being thrown to the ground, the FC Smorgon player got in the face of the steward and gave him a hard shove and had to be restrained.
Thankfully, Shubovich was able to try again and his teammates and fans applauded as the young player’s girlfriend said yes to the proposal.
People reacted to the video online.
“What a mess…” one person wrote.
