3. Tajikistan Premier League 2012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOnUuKkB904 Quite what caused the initial scuffle between competing players in the Tajikistan Premier League match between Istaravshan FK and Energetik Dushanbe remains unclear. A brawl amongst the players resulted in the military rushing onto the pitch in an effort to separate them. With so many officials on the field the crowd of 18000 fans decided to invade also, kicking the ball into the back of the net and running wildly on the grass. Before the match was finally abandoned, further military invaded with a comical moment of one colonel appearing to secure his shoes ready for joining the melee. Speculation after the game in the Tajik press pointed toward players frustration at possible suspicions of bribery of the match referee though this was dismissed upon investigation.
