Fans chase terrified soccer players from field after bad tackle

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

A friendly game in Bulgaria turned into a nightmare after aggressive play and red cards from Israli team Ashdod were met with a pitch invasion, bottles being thrown and ultimately chasing the team from the field. CSKA Sofia fans became irate following a hard tackle, which resulted in a third red card for Ashdod in a game over the weekend.

Everything collapsed into anarchy from there.

Fans strolled onto the field looking for a fight.
