Masked youths back on streets in Stockholm- this time for soccer

Masked youths back on the streets of the Stockholm suburbs on Saturday - but this time it was soccer they had on their minds.

Six sides met at Spanga Athletic Grounds to decide "Who Owns The Suburbs" in an annual soccer tournament. Many of the suburbs involved suffered during the recent riots, when dozens of cars were burned in a week of violence in the city.

Local soccer club AIK supported the event, with striker Henok Goitom joining in the webcast by SVT as an expert commentator.

The southern suburb of Brandbergen won the tournament with a brilliant display in the final, beating Rinkeby 5-2 to claim the crown - and, more importantly, the bragging rights until next year's event.

Footage shows the crunch game between Tensta and Rinkeby, as masked youths carrying flares take their place on the terraces.
