Football Referee Receives The Beating Of His Life After He Red Carded Players During Hot Derby Match

Raging football fans beat a referee to pulp after he red-carded several players during a match in Argentina.

The referee who is a Father-of-three, Claudio Elichiri fled after being punched in the face and chased by the hooligans as a handful of officers did what little they could to protect him.

The violence erupted during a fourth-division match between Sarmiento and Sansinena, who come from different cities in the province of Buenos Aires.

Players from home side Sarmiento surrounded the ref after he failed to award them a penalty and their rivals scored a goal on the break moments later.
After he handed out several red cards over their angry protests and ended up suspending the match because of the number of players left on the field, angry fans invaded the pitch to let their fists and feet do justice to him.

The most surprising thing is when being interview, the referee reveals he doesn't earn a living from refereeing.
His words: I run a construction firm with my dad. I love refereeing and I’m not going to stop now.It’s really bad what happened but things like this make you stronger.
