ADELAIDE United coach John Kosmina was sensationally sent off after clashing aggressively with Melbourne Victory skipper Kevin Muscat in the dying minutes of an intense encounter at Telstra Dome last night.
In front of 32,368 fans, Kosmina appeared to hold the ball to prevent Muscat taking a quick throw-in as Melbourne went in search of an equaliser. The two - colleagues last week when Kosmina was assistant Socceroos coach and Muscat in the national squad - pushed, shoved, jostled and shouted at each other after Muscat grabbed the ball and Kosmina ended up on the ground.
The Adelaide boss leapt to his feet and grabbed Muscat by the throat and the two had to be separated by team staff and match officials.
Kosmina was ordered to leave the arena by referee Matthew Breeze.
