However, as it's always the case, some fans always find a way to create headlines in the media with poor reactions due to their teams lost.
Fans were said to have attacked match officials and players in some of venues that the home sides lost.
This calls for more orientation to fans and other stakeholders on why they need to accept results as they're or pour their grievances to their club managements.
