An Australian A-League soccer match between local rivals Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory ended abruptly on Saturday after Victory fans stormed the field and attacked City goalkeeper Tom Glover.
Fans ignited flares and small fireworks throughout the game, especially in the 11th minute to celebrate an opening goal from City midfielder Aiden O’Neill.
In the 20th minute, chaos ensued when Glover threw a flare that landed near him off the field and back to Victory fans. The violent scene unfolded as Victory fans stormed the field and Glover was hit in the head by a metal bucket filled with sand reportedly meant to extinguish the flares hurled in his direction. Teammates rushed him from the pitch as blood was seen falling from the side of his head.Tom was assessed by our club doctor immediately following tonight’s incident and required several stitches due to a laceration to his face. He was taken to hospital for scans and further follow up checks.
