Kuwait visited Lebanon for a friendly football match yesterday, with Kuwait defeating them 6-0. Some fighting broke out near the end of the game, which led the referee to call the match early.
Unfortunately, as the teams were heading off the field after the match, they began fighting again and it got real ugly. Bottles and chairs were thrown and the military had to fire some warning shots.
One player in the video is shown being treated for an apparent head injury. 101 Great Goals provided this follow-up information:
