In what was one of the worst displays of hospitality and hooligan behaviour at it's best, Myanmar fans allegedly threw stones and plastic bottles towards the Indian players when the two teams clashed in the Pre-Olympic qualifier at Yangon earlier this week.
With India having the upper hand on the back of a 2-1 win in the home leg, until the half-time the hosts had failed to make any change to the scoreline. It was when the Indian players were heading towards the tunnel that bottles and stones were directed towards them though the players escaped unhurt.
“Until the half-time, there was no police on ground and it was only when the match commissioner intervened that the security was better,” informed an Indian official who was an eyewitness to the scenario.
Kyaw Ko Ko scored in the 64th minute and decided to do away with his jersey in his celebrations which drew the referee’s ire with a second booking to reduce Myanmar to ten men.
“The red card incensed the crowd further and every time our player would go for a throw-in, bottles were thrown.
“After the match when the Indian Ambassador along with the match commissioner came to congratulate us, the crowd started pelting stones. Everyone had to cover their head and walk out of the field.
“The match commissioner mentioned to us that he shall mention about the incident in his official report to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC),” the source told Goal.com.
