The incident happened in the added minutes of the game when Dynamos defender John Soko lost the ball to Albert Kangwanda and then the referee blew a whistle, gave Soko a booking.

Meanwhile one of the suspected Power Dynamos fan known as Meleki jumped over the wire fence, ran onto the pitch and assaulted the match day referee in protest to his decision.

Dynamos players, Captain Owen Tembo and Soko himself, intervened and escorted him off the field. On his return, he was welcomed with slaps and stones from both teams supporters.

Tension reached climax when a Red Arrows fan attacked Meleki that triggered the eruption of chaos amongst supporters causing injuries due to a stampede.

those involved.
