Both sides lucky not to lose a man each
In stoppage time of the first half, Bagan captain Kinshuk Debnath and Minerva's William Asiedu got involved in a brawl.
It all began when Debnath won a foul against Asiedu and ended up lying over the ball for an extended period. Asiedu kicked at the ball in an attempt to snatch it away from Debnath's grasp and get the game going. He kicked the ball twice to which Debnath took offence and retaliated with a kick-out at the Minerva man. Asiedu responded with one of his own and soon Debnath was up on his feet attempting to land a punch on Asiedu. They soon started bumping chests with each other, but were thankfully separated before things could escalate.
The players were only shown yellow, but it could and should have been worse. The whole incident may not have been spotted by the referee which saved the day for both teams. It was a flash-point that summed up Bagan's frustrations with the state of the game.
