The Premier Soccer League has charged Highlanders following the violent scenes that marred their match against FC Platinum two weeks ago.
The incident occurred when referee Kuzivakwamwari Jaravaza awarded the hosts a penalty in the 82nd minute, after Peter Muduwa was adjudged to have fouled Walter Musona in the box.
Highlanders players protested the decision and their fans responded by invading the pitch targeting one of the assistant referees.
Police details were quickly deployed and a protracted standoff led to the firing of tear gas inside the stadium.
The battles continued outside the ground, while the players and officials sought sanctuary in the dressing rooms.
The match commissioner was then forced to end the game before fulltime.
In a statement, the PSL has summoned Bosso to appear before the Disciplinary Committee.
Here is the league’s full statement and charges:
