Watch New York City star Jesus Medina get hit with a BEER CAN thrown from crowd in shameful MLS Final scenes
TWO fans were arrested after New York City winger Jesus Medina was hit by a beer can thrown from the crowd.
The disgraceful incident took place during the MLS Cup Final on Saturday.
The Paraguay star was checked over by medical staff after being hit by the object thrown by a fan late in the first half of the showpiece game.
It happened as he ran to celebrate Taty Castellanos's 41st-minute goal near the corner flag.
Medina fell to the floor after the can appeared to hit his arm.
And while the 24-year-old lay stricken on the floor, a second can was thrown at the group of players by Portland fans from high up in the stands.
During the interval, the Timbers announced on Twitter that the fan who threw the object had been ejected from the game and banned from Providence Park.
The tweet added: "There is zero tolerance for behavior of that kind."
