In a statement, the South African Football Association (SAFA) expressed its disappointment by the violence displayed by players during the clash between Royal AM and Lindelani Ladies in KwaMashu.
What was meant to be an entertaining KZN derby in women’s football, turned out to put the integrity of the women’s game in disarray, SAFA added.
SAFA has received the match commissioners report following the incident caught live on SABC 1.
Five red cards handed out
The referees report will also be studied before the two teams are called into a disciplinary hearing.
This after a fight broke out on the pitch and forced the referee to issue five red cards in the dying minutes of the game.
Royal AM won the match 2-1.
Royal AM are 11th in the 16-team league with seven points after seven matches, with Lindelani Ladies in 15th place with four points.
