Osun United and Sunshine fans turned bloody with violence.
According
to witnesses, the invasion of the pitch by some Osun United fans after

match officials to run for their lives.
Akure club Sunshine won the encounter 3-1, and progressed to the semifinals 3-2 on aggregate.
The
referee was said to have incurred the wrath of the fans following a
questionable call against the Osogbo outfit Osun United, who needed a
second goal to advance, having won the first leg 1-0.

the pitch invasion was going on, it was learnt that suspected Sunshine
fans vandalised the vehicles which brought Osun United fans to the
stadium.
They were also said to have attacked Osun United captain Akeem Olalere and destroyed some property at the stadium.
