Maybe something you'd guard against away from home, but surely not in your own stadium...

This is generally not what's meant by having to overcome a hostile home crowd.

On Tuesday night, Perugia beat Brescia 2-0 in Serie B, with a goal in either half enough to sneak the hosts back into the playoff positions. It's a result which seems more impressive once you know that the Perugia dressing room was actually robbed between the first half beginning and the players returning to it at half-time. The interval lasted for 25 minutes after the referee was made aware of the situation.
