Uruguayan match abandoned after linesman struck by roll of paper
• Official hit by what appeared to be cash register roll
• Nacional versus Universidad de Chile match called offhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhJHHW32m_g&feature=player_embedded
Uruguayan side Nacional's match at home to Universidad de Chile was abandoned early in the second half after a linesman was hit on the head by an object thrown from the crowd.
The game was the second this week in the Copa Sudamericana competition to be called off, after crowd violence also marred the previous night's match in Ecuador between Emelec and Olimpia.
Universidad de Chile were dominating the game at the Parque Central stadium and leading 2-0 when one of the assistant referees was hit in the 47th minute by what Uruguayan media identified as a roll of paper from a cash register.
The official was knocked to the ground and received treatment for several minutes before the referee called the match off.
The South American Football Confederation said on its website that it would meet later in the week to decide on the outcome of the tie. The Chilean side won the first leg 1-0.
Tuesday's match at Emelec was called off in the 81st minute when fans hurled bottles onto the pitch, apparently in protest against their team's coach Juan Ramon Carrasco. Paraguayan side Olimpia were leading 2-1.
