Members of a women’s soccer team attacked a referee after an apparently missed call.

Five members of the team chased the referee off the field of play, but as he reached the touch line, a man was seen running to his right. It is not known if that man was a coach, a fan or another spectator, but he missed his shot.

Arriving on the track, the referee made a sharp right turn, continuing to avoid trouble, but was caught soon after.
