Referee abandons match in China to catch flight

A China League One reserve match was suddenly cut short due to a
referee's desperate need to catch a flight.
The first half between Hangzhou Greentown's reserve side and
Meixian Techand lasted only 40 minutes, while the whistle blew 38
minutes into the second because the referee feared he would miss his
plane last week.

Hangzhou – home of Australia international defender Matthew
Spiranovic – confirmed to Chengdu Economic Daily that the game was
abandoned as there is only flight scheduled daily at the nearest
airport.
The Chinese Football Association (CFA) is investigating the incident.
