The World Cup match between Pakistan and Afghanistan turned into a battleground after Afghan supporters in the ground brutally charged a Pakistani journalist.
According to media reports, the charged Afghan crowd took the chanting of slogans too far and started hitting Pakistani fans. A Pakistani journalist, Makhdoom Abu Bakar, who tried to intermediate, was also brutally thrashed prompting the ground security to intervene.
Scores of Afghan supporters have now been thrown out of the ground for this pathetic behavior.
“Few of them were ejected from stadium by security; many invaded the stadium jumping the wall, occupying seats without tickets. Ugly scenes! Anti sportsmanship by Afghan fans. Disappointing,” wrote Faizan Lakhani, a renowned sports journalist on Twitter.
It is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.
