What followed were shocking scenes as the referees were left with bloodied faces and multiple injuries after a host of fans attacked them with the effort to shield them by the security not helping much as the irate supporters overwhelmed them.

The referees attempted to flee to a nearby forest as the situation escalated but the fans could not relent having been angered by some calls which they deemed unfair on their team.

Mintack fans were aggrieved by the number of fouls whistled against their team who had nine yellow cards and one red issued to their players, added to a controversial penalty awarded to Kumba FC.

The penalty was saved but tensions escalated when referee Mundi ordered it retaken as the Mintack goalkeeper had reportedly not complied with the rules.

That decision worsened the situation and it was when angry Mintack fans stormed the pitch and attacked Mundi and his assistants.

The attack has been condemned with the Cameroon Football Association (FECAFOOT) urged to get to the bottom of the matter and avert such incidents in the future.
