One of the beautiful game’s most sacred traditions is a pitch invasion- when fans descend on the field after the match is over to celebrate a win.

But after a tedious 0-0 draw between rival Danish teams, a couple of fans created an intimate post-match ritual all of their own.

According to AFP, the pair were pictured having sex in the middle of Brondby’s Copenhagen ground.

Caught in the act: Under the glare of the pitch’s floodlights, two fans were spotted having sex on the field. The couple, who clearly thought they were alone, were caught by security guards

They were spotted under floodlights in the pitch’s centre by security staff.

It is not known who posted the picture on the social media site. The couple were told to put their clothes back on and leave the stadium.

The photograph of the unidentified fans has since been removed. Broendby IF spokesman Mikkel Davidsen told AFP: ‘I do not know who posted the pic’ after their match against Randers FC.

Uninspiring: The dull match between Brondby and Randers ended in a 0-0 draw. The picture of the naked fans has been removed from Twitter

‘Great match, but disappointed over the 0-0 and many missed chances.

‘But the couple … in the centre circle helps the mood,’ Davidsen wrote on Twitter. He said: ‘We have several eye witnesses’.

Brondby are currently at the bottom of the Danish Superliga championship tournament.
