After what looked like a perfect Saturday, violence reared its ugly head as the other quarter-final between Simba Bhora and Highlanders was abandoned after a controversial penalty was awarded to the hosts at Wadzanai Stadium in Shamva on Sunday.
The game was abandoned after 79 minutes as Highlanders players took matters into their own hands and refused to proceed with the match.
The fate of the match is now set to be settled via the boardroom.
