The Premier Soccer League has summoned Harare giants CAPS United to appear before a Disciplinary Committee following the pitch invasion by fans at Mandava Stadium on Saturday which led to the match being abandoned.

Makepeke fans invaded the pitch on 88 minutes, protesting against the referee’s decision to disallow Ralph Kawondera’s goal, which could have been an equaliser against home side FC Platinum, who were leading 1-0.

CAPS United’s disciplinary proceedings shall take place on April 23 at the League’s offices in Harare.

“CAPS United have been charged for breaching the PSL rules and regulations.

“In terms of Order 31 of PSL rules and regulations, it is an act of misconduct on the club where its supporters misbehave in any manner, whatsoever, inside or outside a ground before, during or after a match no matter on which ground the match is played.

“Without derogating from the generality of what constitutes misbehaviour on the side of the supporters,” read part of PSL press statement.
