Ugly football

Under-19 women's soccer players with China and Australia are seen in a mass brawl after China's 2-1 win over the Aussies at the Asian U19s Women's Championships on Monday in Wuhan, Hubei province. China held on for victory in 97 minutes although the Australians made accusations of biased refereeing. The bench-clearing brawl erupted after injury time when Chinese goalie Zhang Yue was punched in the chest by an Australian player. The brawl, joined by the Wuhan crowd who pelted visitors with water bottles, lasted for ten minutes until the two sides were split by coaches and officials with Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The organizers revealed the angry Aussies also went on to damage a locker in the changing room. So far, AFC and the Chinese Football Association have not commented on the accident.
