A RUSSIAN Premier League match between Dynamo Moscow and champion Zenit St Petersburg was abandoned yesterday after fans threw firecrackers on to the pitch, injuring Dynamo goalkeeper Anton Shunin.
Late in the first half with Dynamo leading 1-0, the referee stopped the match after one of the missiles, thrown by the Zenit supporters, landed near Shunin, injuring his eye.
The 25-year-old Russia international was taken to a local hospital, suffering burns to his cornea.
"Anton has a poor vision in one of his eyes," Dynamo doctor Alexander Rezepov said on the club's Twitter feed.
Shunin added: "Something had landed near my feet. I looked down and at that moment the petard blew up into my face. Right now I have some problems with my vision and hearing."
Zenit, which trailed league leader CSKA Moscow by three points before yesterday's games, could be handed a 0-3 defeat as well as a hefty fine from the Russian FA. Dynamo was in 10th place, 18 points off the pace midway through the season.
