You See Poor Decisions Week In And Week Out In The Psl, Says Makaab

Former Orlando Pirates league-winning coach and renowned agent Mike Makaab has bemoaned the standard of refereeing in South Africa.

The Premier Soccer League officials were caught up in controversy yet again over the weekend during the Stellenbosch FC and Kaizer Chiefs Nedbank Cup quarterfinal at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.

Chiefs won 3-1 with two goals in stoppage time to advance to the semifinals, but Stellies coach Steve Barker was livid with the Amakhosis second goal.

Stellies goalkeeper Sage Stephens appeared to have been nudged off the ball while trying to punch out a corner. With Stephens out of action it allowed Chiefs winger Pule Mmodi to tap the ball into the net.

The assistant referee held up his flag to indicate a foul on Stephens, but was later overruled by referee Sikhumbuzo Gasa and Mmodis goal was allowed to hand Chiefs a crucial 2-1 lead.
