ALERT: Police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades on Sunday to disperse a crowd who invaded the pitch and forced the abandonment of a national league match in Bloemfontein.
JOHANNESBURG - Police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades on Sunday to disperse a crowd who invaded the pitch and forced the abandonment of a national league match in Bloemfontein.
An eye witness told AFP that when the pitch was invaded, the players, coaches and technical staff hurried to the safety of the changing rooms. A powerful header from Togo centre-back Sadat Ouro-Akoriko off a corner gave AmaZulu a 12th-minute lead that did not last long.
