Bosso, Dembare court the ire of the PSL

Dynamos and Highlanders could court the ire of the PSL following incidents that occurred during the Sunday match.

Jaure attempted to manhandle the referee after he was given marching orders while unruly Bosso fans from the Soweto end pelted Dynamos goalkeeper George Chigova who employed time-wasting antics to contain the pressure from attacking Highlanders by intermittently faking injury.

The feat did not go down well with Bosso fans.

PSL chief executive Kenny Ndebele said yesterday they were still waiting for another report from the referee and would make a decision today.

"We are still waiting for another report from the referee. We will now be able to make a decision tomorrow (today)," Ndebele said.

Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) issued a statement condemning violent behaviour against referees.

"Zifa would like to appeal to players, team officials, and fans to respect the decisions of referees. We would like to abundantly stress that referees are untouchable.

"Law 5 of Fifa Laws of the game provides: 'the decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play are final.'

"Because of this, Zifa condemns in strongest terms any individual who attacks or demonstrates any violent behaviour against the referee.

"Furthermore, the association wants to stress that such behaviour is not only criminal, but a wanton violation of football statutes.

"Accordingly, the association will not hesitate to invoke football statutes to deal with such lawlessness.

"More so, we are working closely with our affiliate, the Premier Soccer League (PSL), to protect the image of our beautiful game from any form of violence.

"Hooligans have no place in our beautiful game," read the Zifa statement.

Dynamos won the match 1-0 with defender Ocean Mushure converting a penalty sending the defending champions to the top of the league table.
