This crowd were not in the mood to talk things over

Israeli team Ashdod were forced to flee after a poor tackle by one of their players in a preseason friendly sparked a pitch invasion by fans of CSKA Sofia.

The player was shown a red card for the challenge but CSKA fans nonetheless stormed the pitch to exact further retribution.

When they realised their precarious situation, the Ashdod players retreated to the other side of the pitch before climbing the empty stand on and exiting the stadium.
