The game ended 0-0, but disorder erupted shortly after the final whistle, forcing spectators to flee as clashes broke out among fans. Witnesses reported fans climbing perimeter fences while security personnel escorted match officials and players to safety. Several supporters were reportedly injured during the incident.
In a statement, ZPL head of communications Kunda Zulu condemned the violence, emphasizing that football venues must remain safe for all attendees. “Football is a unifying sport…there is absolutely no place for violence, hooliganism, or any misconduct before, during, or after the match,” Zulu said.
League CEO Joseph Chimpampwe called the behavior at Nkholoma Stadium unacceptable and warned that disciplinary action would be taken against those responsible. He noted that the league is collaborating with match officials and relevant authorities to determine the causes of the unrest.
The ZPL has urged supporters to maintain order during matches and uphold the integrity of the sport, stressing that stadia must remain safe spaces and that any acts of violence will face firm consequences. “We urge fans to support their teams passionately but responsibly,” Chimpampwe added.
Nkoloma is unsafe. Players are not protected from rowdy fans. Ban the stadium!
