Bulgarian football match abandoned as referee chased off pitch

A match in Bulgaria was abandoned in the 21st minute after players began trying to fight the referee. After one began pushing the match official, he brandished a yellow card, before the captain waded in to hit away the outstretched arm of the referee. Fans followed suit and began chasing down the referee. However, he decided that enough was enough and began running from the pitch and into the adjacent car park. The game, which was filmed by Nikola Penev, was between OFK Kostinbrod and Tornado Bezden and played in Kostinbrod, just outside the capitol Sofia
