The Disciplinary Committee also accused Ingwe for hiding the Spectator who caused trouble in the match, yet they know the outcome of chaos in football matches.
“As we have observed, the Respondent (AFC Leoprads) knows the perpetrator of the incident in question but refuses to give him up despite what he did. The Respondent is not remorseful and appears keen on helping the person get away with what is in fact a criminal offence,” read part of the IDCC statement.
