The glass of the window did not shatter and there were no reported injuries, but police say the incident put the safety of the players and public at risk.
Officers investigating the incident are urging anyone who may have captured mobile phone video footage of the incident to get in touch.
Detective Sergeant George Easterbrook said: “The scenes on Wednesday evening were totally unacceptable, putting the safety of the players and the public at risk and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
