MARGAO: In an ugly turn of events in a Second Division League match played between St Sebastian Union Club and Varca Sports Club, the third official and the match organiser were assaulted by the player and fans.
According to the officials, soon after the final whistle, Joel Fernandes of St Sebastian Union Club, who earlier received straight red following his push on the same official, came straight to the lines man Milagres Fernandes and punched him with fists and blows.
The official added, Joel who was on the field, was upset with the official following his decision to allow the second goal, which according the player claimed to be an offside.
Since the local organiser Ozen Silva was recording and capturing the whole episode on his handset at the end of the match, St Sebastian Union fans grabbed the phone and squeezed the organisers hand, thus injuring the lad.
