Members of a women's soccer team attacked a referee after an apparently missed call.

Members of a women's soccer team attacked a referee after an apparently missed call.

Five members of the team chased the referee off the pitch, but when he reached the sideline, a man was seen running from his right. It's unknown whether that man was a coach, a fan or another spectator, but his punch missed.

Upon reaching the track, the referee took a hard right turn, continuing to avoid trouble, but he was caught shortly after.

The ref was grabbed by several members of the team, with at least one of them throwing a punch. The man who was chased down earlier also caught up, swinging punches from behind. Another player added a jump kick as stadium staff was trying to break up the matter.
