Orlando Pirates controversially beat Stellenbosch to become the first team to win the MTN8 for the third time in a row.

Lehlohonolo Mojela opened the scoring with a beautiful bicycle kick before Monnapule Saleng equalised. Tshegofatso Mabasa scored a contested second goal – after a quickly taken free-kick way out of the allowed three meter-radius, before Relebohile Mofokeng grabbed the third to help the Soweto giants claim a 3-1 win at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

The majority of the fans are unhappy with Abongile Tom's officiating; they feel the Buccaneers were helped to set history. Have a look at their arguments.

The way Abongile Tom is drinking teams in the MTN8 finals! I swear he will be inscribed in the MTN8 Hall of Fame. He has been a vital part of this thing. He makes headlines every single one of them. Mojela’s scissor kick was supposed to be the talk of town but boom! Abongile! –  Kabelo Moss.

As Kaizer Chiefs supporters, we congratulate Orlando Pirates. We won't complain about Abongile Tom and the robbery committed. All we are asking for from Safa is VAR – I Am Slick

Sorry Stellenbosch FC, as a soccer-loving person, I feel sorry for Steve Barker. Abongile Tom is the Man of the Match. Wow, what a performance. He destroyed a good match and stole the spotlight. To be honest, Pirates may celebrate, but if this happens to them, they will understand – Goddard Ngobeni

I enjoy seeing Kaizer Chiefs fans hurting simultaneously because of Pirates, a last nail to the coffin. We signed Abongile Tom to help us win what is rightfully ours – Takatshana Khayelihle

What Relebohile Mofokeng is doing to his elders is pure disrespect in our South African football. Remove the mask, we know it is Lionel Messi – Jaly Da Deep
