VIDEO: Shocking Scenes in a Soccer Match After Goalkeeper Throws Burning Flare Into the Stands and Gets Hit in the Head With a Bucket by Fans as Game Gets Suspended

World Cup will come to an end today and with that, the world will shift its focus from FIFA leagues all around the world. After a week of rest, the Premier League will resume its season on the 26th of December. However, few leagues made headlines during the FIFA tournament itself, and not for good reasons.

Earlier this week, Australian A-League bosses awarded the final series to Sydney to host for the next three seasons and fans were not happy about this decision. However, this isn’t the first time a regional league has turned violent in the last 2 months. We know the incidents from Turkey and Russia where soccer turned into MMA.

The match was called off right after the violent scenes during a match between Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City. A herd of fans broke onto the ground in the 21st minute and got violent with players.

Tom Glover got hit with the bucket

It all started when a fan threw a flare at the goalkeeper of Melbourne City Tom Glover, which he picked up and threw back at the crowd.

Mere seconds later, hell broke loose on the ground as a fan encircled him and one fame came and hit Glover with a metal bucket. After the exchange, players quickly left the ground and the match was abandoned.

However, this isn’t the first case of a brawl on the ground that happened recently.
