VIDEO: Players and fans attack a referee during a football game in Tajikistan

It blew up after a couple of red cards.

A TAJIKSTAN PREMIER League game between Istaravshan and Energetik Dushanbe had to be abandoned after rioting broke out in the 81st minute.

According to the description on the YouTube video, the Energetik goalie “attempted to kick the referee after conceding a goal for which he thought shouldn’t have stood.”

Two players were red carded, Energetik players surrounded the refs, and fans poured onto the field to start a full-fledged riot. Here’s the video from Who Ate All The Pies:
