According to fans and analyst Phumdudzo Mananzhe referee Jelly Chavani was right to allow Gabadinho Mhango's equaliser for Moroka Swallows against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena blasts the decision to overturn Gabadinho Mhango’s equaliser for Moroka Swallows in their 2-2 draw on Monday, 15 April 2024
Analyst Phumudzo Mananzhe, though, said referee Jelly Chavani made the right call as Mhango was played onside by Sundowns defender Divine Lunga Fans agree with Mananzhe while Sundowns edge closer to defending their PSL title as they hold a 12-point lead at the top of the log with nine games left to playoff-sideMamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena says Gabidinho Mhango's equaliser for Moroka Swallows should not have stood.
Mhango was in an offside position but a header by Sundowns defender Divine Lunga put the ball at his feet and he went on to score a 85th minute equaliser.“Had the ball been deflected off Lunga, Mhango would’ve been offside because he’s not deliberately playing the ball. But is the defender deliberately playing the ball? The answer is yes. When he deliberately plays the ball, it’s not an offence to be in an offside decision.
Local football fans, including Sundowns supporters, took to social media to agree with Mananzhe's analysis that the referee made the right call."That touch by Lunga made Mhango an active player; therefore, job well done by Jelly and his fourth official. I felt so egregious to drop points the way we did. Lunga has been outstanding, but he's also a human. I can't fault him because we all make mistakes at one point.
