Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town's FA Cup fourth qualifying round match was abandoned after reports of racial abuse directed at Haringey's goalkeeper.
Cameroonian keeper Douglas Pajetat was allegedly spat at and had bottles thrown in his direction from visiting fans, which prompted the Haringey players to walk off the pitch.
Yeovil's captain attempted to speak with the supporters before the home team took the decision to leave the field.
