KUALA LUMPUR, Jan. 10 -- What was meant to be a friendly kickabout ended on a sour note when a footballer was left injured after being attacked by an opposing player at the RRI Sungai Buloh field onWednesday night.

The scuffle reportedly broke out moments after the friendly match wrapped up at around 10.56pm.

Sungai Buloh district police chief Superintendent Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor confirmed the incident, saying the trouble started as the victim was still with his teammates following the final whistle.

"After the match ended, the victim was assaulted with fists by an individual believed to be a player from the opposing team," he said in a statement today.

The injured footballer later sought medical treatment for his injuries.
