Mamelodi Sundowns playmaker Gaston Sirino has been charged for allegedly assaulting SuperSport United duo Clayton Daniels and Dean Furman.

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) charged Sundowns and Sirino for bringing the game into disrepute for an incident where the playmaker allegedly slapped Furman and Daniels.

This is regarding an incident that occurred during SuperSport’s 2-0 victory over Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on 18 September.

The 28-year-old was only booked for the incident and he played the entire match against SuperSport.

Sirino has been summoned to appear before the PSL’s disciplinary committee on Monday, 11 November on the charge that he ‘brought the game‚ the sponsor MTN‚ the complainant [the PSL]‚ Safa‚ Caf and Fifa into disrepute,’ the PSL’s statement read.

The Brazilians are also charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

The charge against Sirino follows two days after Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane was on Monday given until Friday by PSL prosecutor Nande Becker to explain comments he made last week on match officials.
