(Reuters) - The A-League derby between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory was abandoned amid chaotic scenes after a pitch invasion on Saturday in which City goalkeeper Tom Glover was left bloodied after he was struck in the face.
Glover was hit by a metal bucket as fans from the Victory end stormed onto the pitch after the 20-minute mark of the game with City up 1-0 at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
Football Australia said in a statement:"Such behaviour has no place in Australian Football, with a full Football Australia investigation to commence immediately, where strong sanctions will be handed down." "The Australian Professional League is coordinating with Football Australia regarding the ramifications of these events," the APL said in a statement.
