SINGAPORE: A police report was made by a referee after a Singapore FA Cup game between East Coast United FC and GFA Victoria FC at Bukit Gombak Stadium, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) said on Wednesday (Oct 18).
In response to queries from CNA, FAS' director of competitions Aloysius Vetha said that the"incident" involved a player from East Coast United and the referee in the 92nd minute of the match.
In a video of the incident seen by CNA, the player appeared to confront the referee after being awarded what appeared to be a red card. The referee then fell to the ground before the player was escorted away by his teammates. "The FAS adopts a zero-tolerance policy regarding violence of any form be it towards match officials, players, or club officials and any such alleged behaviour has no place in football," said Mr Vetha.The Warwick Knights were playing the Yishun Sentek at Yishun Stadium.
