Brawl halts Singapore League match
Singapore's Football Association has decided to probe the domestic league match that was abandoned 10 minutes before the end after players fought on the pitch.
The S.League match between Young Lions - the national side's Under-23 team - and Beijing Guoan at the City State's Jalan Besar Stadium was halted when the score was a draw - 1-1l.
Gabriel Quak and Faritz Abdul Hameed from Young Lions were sent to hospital after the brawl.
"The FAS takes a serious view of this gross misconduct by the players," a spokesman for the Republic's soccer body said.
"We are conducting an investigation into this matter and the perpetrator will be dealt with severely."
The FAS has ordered the match to be replayed. - Agencies
