The ugly head of hooliganism was once again on display to spoil what was an otherwise exciting First Division South duel between leaders, Matebele and relegation-threatened Matebejana at the Holy Ghost Park on Saturday.

The tackle gave birth to a fierce fight as there was a lot of shoving and fists were exchanged between Neo and one of the Matebejana players. The referee did not hesitate but reach for his pocket and sent Neo for an early shower for his actions in the 63rd minute.
