Both sets of fans were involved in a brawl after the final whistle, and security had to intervene to separate them.

From videos circulating on social media, it appears as though a small group of Esperance fans provoked their Sundowns counterparts into the fight.

Peter Shalulile scored the only goal of the match to give the Brazilians the advantage ahead of the return leg.

Sundowns released a carefully worded statement in the early hours of yesterday morning, stating that they will cooperate with Caf as investigations into the incident unfold.
