A South African referee and his assistants have been pummeled by irate fans during a crucial ABC Motsepe League match between Upington FC and Real Madrid.
The encounter began after the coordinate authority Bergman granted Madrid a freekick with only 13 minutes to the last whistle.
Madrid then scored a triumphant objective from the set piece, and this infuriated oppositional fans who asserted that the objective shouldn't remain after a supposed handball.
Enraged by the match official's choice, fans raged the pitch and kicked and punched him.
Different specialists have broadly denounced savagery during football matches, asking fans to be quiet regardless of the result of an installation.
Yet, fans are not taking the message, as this beyond couple of weeks, instances of pitch intrusion have heightened.

Regardless of whether the official was in the wrong or not, such acts of aggression and violence is unacceptable. Whether against an official, player, coach or any human being, this is simply unacceptable.
