It all went south after a Lewis Kutinyu Chicken Inn goal was disallowed in the last minute. A Chicken Inn player then slapped a Highlanders opponent resulting in an invasion of the pitch. The violence has resulted in arrests and as goons assaulted match officials and injured police officers.

Sickening. Like really sick.
