The goal less Beijing-Tianjin football match on Wednesday dispersed with the feel of a dangerous powder keg, and fears of further hooliganism from both parties have arisen.

Yesterday's match between Beijing Guo'an FC and Tianjin Teda FC is the focus of the 27th round in the Chinese Super League. It was rescheduled from 7:30 pm, October 5 to 4 pm, October 14, due to security concerns.

Hundreds of Tianjin fans held placards with "Judas" written on them, apparently referring to Matic, who was a defending midfielder for Tianjin last year.

Tianjin fans used green laser pointers as tools to disturb the visiting players. At the 80 minute mark, when Tao Wei of Guo'an was preparing for a corner kick, lighters, papers cups and toilet paper rolls poured onto the corner flag area. Tao refused to serve the kick for three minutes.

A fight between hostile fans occurred during the halftime break outside the stadium. According to 163.com, thousands of fans surrounded the entrances of the stadium one hour after the game, and two of them were arrested. Several Guo'an jerseys and flags were set ablaze by fanatical fans.

The Beijing-Tianjin matchhas long been a security headache. In May, the Beijing's Worker's Stadium witnessed a variety of hooligan incidents. Dozens of fans from Tianjin were attacked by Guo'an fans both in and out of the stadium, and hundreds of Teda fans set jerseys and posters carrying Guo'an's logo on fire outside the arena.

During that same June game, the Guo'an fans threw water bottles, water filled condoms, coins, and baozi, a famous Tianjin food, at visiting players. In Wednesday's rematch, Tianjin fans threw stuffed green-back turtle in a effort to insult the visiting team. Tianjin fans vowed revenge at home. The Guo'an club earnestly requested their fans not to travel to Tianjin, or drive cars with a Beijing plates. A seemingly effective tact as very few Beijingers turned up to watch the match.

"Too tell the truth, I don't know what's going on with the Beijing fans. I haven't seen any," said Fan Wenbo, a reporter from the Tianjin Daily. Fan said that Tianjin authorities banned local media from reporting anything negative about the match. "They requested that our stories only show the peaceful and friendly side of the game."
