Milan, Italy -- Fireworks at last night's soccer match in Milan have Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi considering "drastic measures" to stop stadium violence.
The game between AC Milan and Inter Milan was cut short after Inter fans repeatedly threw flares onto the field.
One blazing flare hit AC Milan's goalkeeper in the shoulder after a goal was disallowed. He was treated on the field, and play resumed after a delay.
Fans started throwing flares again and the referee called the game less than a minute later.
AC Milan was leading and has qualified for the semifinals.
The latest ugliness follows a weekend in which scores of fans were arrested and 89 police officers injured in fighting across Italy.
Officials fear more violence may come. Some Italian fans have been calling for retaliation in Turin during today's game against Liverpool. They blame Liverpool for a 1985 soccer riot in which 39 people were crushed to death.
If you look on the Comcast homepage you can actually see a video of it. Crazy stuff.
