SEE what happens when a soccer player picks up a live grenade or firework on the field and throws it to the sideline.

Riots with flairs and fireworks aren't unusual at a soccer match, but what happens in the video above takes hooliganism to a whole new level.



The explosive detonated during a peaceful Asian Champions League game between Iran team Sepahan and Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli.



A Sepahan midfielder can be seen picking up the explosive and then throws it to the sideline. The moment it hits the ground it explodes causing players to retreat to the middle of the pitch while smoke rises from the ground.
