Caps United mentor Lloyd Chitembwe has described Herentals FC as amateurs who easily get over excited at the prospects of playing against ‘big’ teams after the two sides had skirmishers before Saturday’s drab goalless draw at Rufaro Stadium.

“This occasion was too big for them and they got too excited,” said Chitembwe.

“It’s really unfortunate that we have people who want to bring amateurish antics into professional football. They should take responsibility and not blame Caps United for this. They should leave us out of this.”

Kick-off was delayed by twenty minutes after clashes at the gates with the hosts blocking the entrance of the Caps United team bus into the stadium.

The Students argued that it was Chitembwe who caused the chaos when he blocked the entrance of their team bus by parking his car in front of the main gate. Herentals players disembarked from their bus outside the stadium and walked into the dressing rooms.
