The massive fire at Hongkou Stadium, home of Shanghai Shenhua, has been extinguished, with no injuries or deaths reported.

As the smoke subsides, an image showing a man sporting a Beijing Guo'an jacket at the scene of the blaze is making the rounds on social media. Wrong place, wrong time, etc:

Coincidence? We're gonna go with "yes," as firefighters have already stated the blaze was caused by construction in the rock climbing center on the stadium's second flood.

Still, that hasn't stopped some netizens from wondering just what a fan from one of Shenhua's biggest rivals was doing at the stadium while it went up in flames.

"Hey, Guo'an fan in the front, did you set the fire?" one asked.

"Guo'an's plot??" inquired another.

"Guo'an dude stole the thunder," another joked.

"A real man never looks back at the explosion," one quipped.

Naturally, there are memes:
