It’s like they went to a soccer match and an outdoor rock concert broke out. Following Marek Hamsik’s goal in a Europe League match, fans of the Serie A squad from Napoli erupted into frenzied celebration, but then they just went too far.

No, as in they literally went too far, as a handful of fans tumbled over a broken stadium barrier and tumbled onto the field like freshmen at a kegger. Ouch. You never want to see that kind of thing happen to anyone, except Nickelback.

It doesn’t appear that anyone was injured, but considering they were watching a sport where thespians get carted off on stretchers for charliehorses, it’s hard to say.

Napoli lost the match to Villarreal 2-1.
