However, there is no further information regarding the two teams involved or the names of the players responsible for the assault.
Previously, a similar incident occurred in the Klang Valley, where an amateur league, the Isma Community League for 16-year-olds in Shah Alam, was marred by a brawl involving players and an aggressive father during a game.
The involved man is accused of failing to control his emotions after witnessing his child being attacked during the match, leading to the suspension of the game.
The referee and several match officials intervened to diffuse the brawl, but it escalated as the aggressor refused to back down and even kicked one of the players.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the players, and the team management promptly filed a police report regarding the altercation.
The wife of the involved man is understood to have issued an apology for the incident, requesting that the matter not be prolonged any further.
