Video & Photos: Argentine Goalkeeper Struck By Rock Thrown By Fans In Shocking Incident

Argentine goalkeeper Agustin Orion was struck in the head by a rock in a truly shocking incident during the big Sudamericana clash between Boca Juniors and Rosario Central.
Orion rushed towards medical staff with his head bleeding from a cut sustained after a rock hit him badly. The Boca goalkeeper suffered the blow from the fans amid an incredibly intense atmosphere which turned nasty. The second-round match saw the fans throw flares and create a very intimidating atmosphere throughout. He was treated lying down on the pitch and was ultimately unharmed beyond the initial cut from the blow of the rock.
It was a very ugly incident, but fortunately the keeper was able to continue and play out the remainder of the match. Rosario Central, despite only having 10 men, equalised in the fifth minute of stoppage time to salvage a draw in the first leg of the tie.
There was little doubt, though, that the incident overshadowed the match which saw a wonderfully fervent atmosphere turn ugly.
