I would applaud the coach for getting his team out of there. If stadium security can't ensure the safety of the players, they can't play the game.

I don't think the goalie was retaliating. When I see that video, it looks like the invader is still trying to kick the GK even as he's lying on the ground. He keeps pointing and shouting at the GK as security is getting him off the field.
