Football Australia will hand a show cause notice to Melbourne Victory as well as sifting through a myriad of possible sanctions,including the potential of life bans,loss of competition points and heavy fines.

Cetrangolo said match officials were comfortable with the level of security at AAMI Park on Saturday night.

“We’d like to think it will be the first and last time that’s ever going to happen,” he said.

“There’s plenty of security on match day. I can’t really fault the security because of the speed they moved and what was expected.

“We don’t want to be like overseas where they end up having army and armed police around the ground to try to stop spectators. That’s not what we want.”
