A Czech Cup match between Slavia and Olomouc has had to be abandoned due to rioting fans of Slavia.
The referee called off the first leg of the cup semifinal after the first half at 1-1 on Thursday.
The kickoff had to be postponed for 20 minutes after more than 1,000 Slavia fans invaded the pitch.
The angry fans were protesting against Slavia's management, who they blame for the team's debts.

Riot police had to use force to prevent the fans from entering the club's offices at the stadium.
Slavia, one of the republic's oldest and most famous clubs, owes its players part of their salaries and faces possible relegation for that.
Slavia is likely to be fined by the federation and could lose the match 3-0 as punishment.
