I was so glad we had scored.<br /><br />''After the celebration, I got back and they hit me with something. It was so painful, I could not control it. I thought that there was something dangerous. <span style="">I thought it was a stone.</span> <span style=""> But it was not, it was probably a fruit or something.''<br /><br />He added: ''</span><span style="">I thought something bad had happened to me.</span> <span style=""> But the doctor checked, I'm just a little swollen.</span> <span> I will be okay.</span>''<br /><br />This is the first time Gbenga Arokoyo is getting involved in a game that is cancelled&nbsp; as a result of crowd violence.<br /><br />'' I feel disappointed.
