A fan entered the pitch and attacked a player during a soccer match in South America so the player chased him down and gave him a little bit of his own medicine

Okay, I've seen plenty of streaker videos on the internet where fans are chased around the field for days by security and then a player steps in to take down the goon, but I've never seen anything like this.

This scene is from a soccer match down in Colombia and it looks like a fan of the home team didn't like the fact that one of their former players was taking the field in the opposing team's jersey.

Man, I guess they take futbol pretty seriously down there in Colombia.

Midfielder Daniel Cataño was ejected from the game for his retaliation, which I cannot understand for the life of me, but that made little difference because his team then decided to end the match right then and there.

Millonarios decided it would not continue the match – which was being played at Tolima's stadium – as it believed the players' safety could not be guaranteed.

"Given this situation and considering the inherent risks of the show and the difficulty of guaranteeing the safety of the players, it was decided that it was not prudent to compromise their integrity," the club said in a statement.

You know, I think I might have done the same thing here.

It's not quitting.

It's taking caution.

This is no way to treat a former player when they return to your stadium, and the fan is lucky Cataño went easy on him.

The local government secretary, Milton Restrepo, told local media that the fan will face sanctions but did not elaborate on what they would be.
