Kaizer Chiefs suffered their ninth Premier Soccer League loss when they fell 2-0 against Richards Bay at the King Zwelithini Stadium.
The Natal Rich Boys scored their goals through Fezile Gcaba and Yanela Mbuthuma to claim maximum points. However, it was the second goal that was contested by the Glamour Boys players and the officials.
However, the officials gave the goal and Richards Bay avenged the initial 2-1 loss suffered against the Soweto giants.
In his weekly analysis at SABC's Soccerzone, former Fifa referee Victor Hlungwani has proved Mbuthuma's goal should not have stood.
Was it a legit goal? Hlungwani responds
“Let’s go to Mbuthuma. Mbuthuma here. Let’s go and have a look if he gained advantage by being in that position,” he stated.
“You can see the ball is played and from home, you can see that Mbuthuma is standing in another position. We’ll draw the line for you to show you where he is standing, whether in an offside or onside position.
“Let’s see where Mbuthuma is, and there he is in an offside position. Now we are going to look at the ball when it rebounds from the goalpost. When he [Mbuthuma] plays it, offside interfering or gaining an advantage by being in that position.
So, this was ruled onside, goal was given. Incorrect decision because he gained an advantage by being in that position. That should’ve been ruled offside!”
After the international break, Amakhosi play Golden Arrows away on Sunday 30, hoping to bounce back from the loss.
