Twitter slams Chiefs, calls for Komphela to resign after fans run riot
Violence erupted at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday night as angry fans stormed the pitch after Kaizer Chiefs bombed out of the Nedbank Cup following a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Free State Stars.
With about 15 minutes left of the game, objects began to rain down on the Chiefsβ bench, so much so that a police car was driven onto the side of the field.
A security guard was badly beaten by pitch invaders as police retreated and he got caught by hooligans, who laid into him.
The Nedbank was the only available chance for Chiefs to end a barren three years without winning silverware.
Twitter of course wasted no time slamming the incident and calling for the club, and its beleaguered coach, to be punished for their fans' behaviour.
Hi @OfficialPSL please fine Chiefs R1 Million. #NedbankCup

Kaiser Chiefs supporters who went to Moses Mabida stadium and rushed the field are exactly what football does not need. These fans should be banned for life. Disgusting behaviour.
