The GT Beer/Keep Ya Five Alive Futsal Champion-ship final between Future Stars and West Front Road-Gold is Money on Saturday ended unceremoniously as the referees abandoned the fixture due to crowd invasion on the playing area.

It was an embarrassing scene and equally distressing outcome at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue.

The incident occurred after the match progressed to the sudden death penalty kick realm following a 2-2 score at the end of penalty kicks. The score at the end of regulation and extra time was 4-4.
