Cypriot Soccer Match Interrupted By Exploding Flare Thrown At Injured Player

This was the scene Sunday during the Anorthosis Famagusta-Omonia Nicosia match in Nicosia, Cyprus. Ricardo Laborde, one of the Anorthosis forwards, was receiving medical treatment when the flare came flying from the stands and exploded right next to him and the medical personnel tending to him. Somehow, no one was seriously injured.
