Angel City reports no serious injuries after fireworks show launches projectiles into stands

Angel City’s pre-Fourth of July fireworks show got plenty of attention Friday night, just not in the way the team intended.

>A postgame fireworks show saw multiple projectiles veer sideways into the stands at BMO Stadium, creating a nightmarish scene as a remix of Kanye West’s “All of the Lights” blared over a field lit red. One fan captured the chaos that ensued:

“A fireworks malfunction did occur during last night’s post-match celebration at Angel City FC’s game vs. Orlando at BMO Stadium,” a statement from ACFC reads. “Our medical and safety teams were on site and ready to respond. Stadium operations confirmed the venue was secure and guests, staff, players, and crew were able to depart safely.

>“We are working closely with our pyrotechnics vendor to review the incident and evaluating appropriate next steps.”

The night had been a success for Angel City up to that point, as they defeated the Orlando Pride 2-0 to open the second half of the season on a positive note in front of a crowd of 13,900. Maiara and Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir contributed the two goals to improve their club’s record to 5-1-6.
