Aly Keita (born 8 December 1986) is a Swedish-Norwegian footballer who plays for Östersunds FK as a goalkeeper.[1]

Club career

Kieta started his career at Skiljebo SK, before moving to Syrianska IF in 2007.[2] Just before the 2012 season, Keita left Syrianska IF on a free transfer to Västerås SK.[2]

Pitch invader incident

On 15 August 2016, Kieta was attacked by a pitch invader during a game against Jönköpings Södra IF. In the closing of what would have been a 1–1 draw ended with an invader running onto the field and grabbed Kieta. He later reported that during the confrontation, he was struck in the temple. After the incident, the 17-year old invader was arrested and the match was abandoned.[3]

This was the second time a game in the Swedish top flight had been abandoned this year, with the first one being IFK Göteborg's match against Malmö in April due to fireworks.[4]
