From the BBC:
Just as the ball reached the outside of one of the penalty areas, in front of 2,000 fans, a bolt of lightning struck the ground.
The referee at the Premier Soccer League match in Johannesburg seemed badly shocked and blew his whistle incessantly.
Several players writhed on the grass holding their ears and their eyes. Spectators and coaching staff ran onto the pitch to help
Fortunately no-one was killed by the strike.
