The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has issued a statement on the violence that marred the match
between Nichrut and CAPS United.

The encounter was played at Ascot Stadium on
Saturday.

The mayhem started when CAPS took the lead after
the home team had grabbed a 3-1 advantage.

Dejected Nichrut supporters began to attack the
visiting fans, and play had to be stopped for 16
minutes.

The CAPS United followers had to be escorted out of the stadium by the police.
Below is the PSL statement:

The Premier Soccer League condemns acts of
violence and hooliganism that took place during the
match between Nichrut FC and Caps United FC
played at Ascot Stadium on Saturday 28 April 2018.

The PSL is awaiting official match reports before
deciding on the disciplinary action.

The PSL wishes to remind football fans that they
should conduct themselves in a sporting manner.

There is no room for violence and hooliganism in
football. Further, we would like to assure our
stakeholders that we will work closely with the police to ensure that those responsible are
brought to book.

The League is also concerned about the reports of
assault of one of the journalists covering the PSL
match between Ngezi Platinum Stars FC and
Highlanders FC by the police at Baobab Stadium on
Saturday 28 April 2018.

We urge the authorities to allow our media partners
to carry out their duties without harassment.
