Four Sent Off As Violent Brawl Forces Referee To Abandon Northern Ireland V Mexico (Video)

Four players were sent off as Northern Ireland and Mexico's Under-20 sides' Milk Cup clash was abandoned following a violent brawl in Coleraine.

Mexicans Raul Monala Gudino, Carlos Arreola and Kevin Gutierrez were red-carded, as well as Northern Ireland's Robbie McDaid.

One Northern Irishman was kicked in the head whilst lying prone on the ground as referee Tim Marshall abandoned the match following the ugly scenes.

Northern Ireland manager Stephen Craigan said the melee had left him "disgusted".

“I have to be careful what I say, but I would like to think Mexico will not be back at the Milk Cup,” Craigan told the BBC.
