Man Utd defender Lindelof made Sweden call: No reason to replay Belgium tie

Manchester United's Sweden captain Victor Lindelof says their abandoned Euro qualifier with Belgium shouldn't be replayed.

The tie was called off at halftime with the score at 1-1 as two Swedish supporters were shot dead in a suspected terrorist attack in Brussels before kickoff.

Swedish supporters were locked inside the stadium until 4am, while Swedish players were taken to the airport under police escort.

"Belgium are already qualified and we don't have the opportunity to get to the European Championship, so I see no reason to play [replay the game]," said Lindelof, who called off the game at halftime.

Belgian FA CEO Manu Leroy confirmed: "After the first half, the captain of Sweden announced that they did not want to start the second half,' Leroy added.

"Then it was important to discuss with the police how we could best evacuate the stadium.

"The decision was made at the highest level at 11.45 pm.

"Stand by stand we looked at how we could best lead the people out. The Swedish fans received a police escort, the players left under police escort to the airport to fly back to their home country."
