Victory had a 3-1 lead over Kuda Henveiru when the violence broke out in the 81st minute. Videos of the clashes have been circulating on social media.
Videos show a clash between Victory's Anatoly Vlashichep and a Kuda Henveiru player near Victory's bench.
Players, officials and supporters from both teams were seen clashing as some people were seen attempting to assault Anatoly.
