As it began investigating, Football Australia said it would weed out those responsible for the pitch invasion.

The FA said that they are in good health.

James Johnson said that the FA would be moving quickly and taking the strongest sanctions available.

The goalkeeper suffered a concussion and lacerations to his face, but will be able to return to training once he is symptom free.

Victoria Police said approximately 150 to 200 Melbourne Victory fans ran on to the pitch in the 22nd minute of Saturday's game, although Johnson suggested the culprits are not football supporters.

He said it was an element that went beyond football. Two million people in Australia love our sport and it's an element that tries to ruin it.

Those people will be the focus of the investigation and those who won't be allowed in the sport.

On Sunday, the managing director of the Victory said the club would assist a police investigation and apologized to the camera operators.

She said that victory is more important than a group of fans. There is no place for that sort of behavior at our club.

Fans of both teams planned a walk-out as part of protests against the decision to sell the A-League Grand Final rights to Sydney for the next three years.

Flares were thrown on to the pitch by both sets of supporters, with one hitting a camera operator.

City were leading 1-0 when Glover appeared to throw a flare back towards the crowd, according to Melbourne newspaper The Age.

Spectators rushed on to the field and referee King had a cut on his head while trying to protect the player.

The game is in a bad state. Danny said that it was an absolute disgrace.

It's hard to believe that we are here after such a great World Cup.

Damage done. It was a sad day for Australian football.

There were protests at other A-League games.

A group of fans boycotted the game between the Jets and the Mariners, while other fans walked out of the game.
