In Spain, a fourth division match between CD Quintanar and CD Atletico Tomelloso (1-0) saw shocking scenes. A scandal broke out after the final whistle.
When the Tomelloso team made their way to the team bus, an SUV suddenly sped in the direction of the team and made no move to slow down.
“About ten minutes later, these two people at the wheel of an off-road vehicle tried to run over our staff and the coaching staff and then fled,” the club said in a statement. Two people are said to have insulted the team after the game.
