Sunday's match between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos turned into a shit show when unruly Olympiakos fans began throwing things onto the pitch. One fan tossed a flare, and another nailed Panathinaikos coach Giannis Anastasiou right in the face with a cup of soda.

On the spectrum of things to get hit in the face with at a soccer game, a cup of soda is a probably one of the more favorable options. At least it wasn't a bottle! The good news is that Anastasiou escaped the match relatively unscathed, telling reporters after the game that he "felt a little dizzy" but was otherwise fine.
