The match between Dynamos and Highlanders has been abandoned after an invasion by fans of the latter at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo.

Dynamos were leading 2-0 in the first half of the Zimbabwe Castle Lager Premier Soccer League, looking at inflicting a third consecutive defeat against Bosso.

Dembare goals had come from Keith Madera and Frank Makarati.

Bosso fans the invaded the pitch in the 40th minute after they were upset with a call by the referee, which they claimed was a penalty.

Police were forced to interfere to clear the pitch but to no avail.

The Match Commissioner called off the match after a restart failed.

It will be yet another year in which Highlanders fans have caused a match to be abandoned.
