The South African Football Players Union have condemned an incident which took place during a South African fourth-tier match where a person appeared to drive onto the pitch during a league game, apparently to attack a referee.
According to The Citizen, the driver was an enraged supporter who, unhappy with a refereeing decision during an ABC Motsepe League match between Luka Ball Controllers and Polokwane City Rovers over the weekend, attempted to attack the official in his vehicle.
The video circulated on social media on Monday, and depicts a motorist speeding down the length of the field to catch up with the referee, who was able to get out of the way.
