The Premier League match between Ashdod SC and Hapoel Beersheba at the Yud- Alef Stadium in Ashdod came to a violent and premature ending on Sunday.
With the score tied at 3-3 deep into stoppage time, referee’s assistant Oren Bornstein was struck by an object thrown by the Ashdod fans and referee Ziv Adler called off the match seconds before he would have blown the final whistle.
Following Sunday’s incident, Ashdod is set to face the Israel Football Association disciplinary court and could very well be handed a technical defeat.
