A number of disgruntled, drunk and disorderly Zenit St Petersburg supporters stormed the pitch on Sunday, attacking players from Dynamo Moscow.

Zenit's title hopes were in jeopardy as the visitors nursed a 4-2 lead with minutes remaining in the game. 

That's when a number of irate hooligans stormed the pitch, forcing the game's abandonment. 

In other footage, Dynamo captain Vladimir Granat is attacked by a shirtless, dumb man who delivers a punch we can safely call terrible. 

Security officials simply couldn't control the situation. With Russia slated to host the 2018 World Cup, this is incredibly disconcerting.
