Mamelodi Sundowns' Mngqithi cries foul after Swallows FC draw: Against Orlando Pirates there was blatant penalty

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi was left seething in anger after they drew with Swallows FC on Saturday afternoon.

Masandawana were held to a 1-1 draw by the Beautiful Birds in a PSL match which was played at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Tshwane.

Sundowns opened the scoring through Kermit Erasmus' first-half goal, but Swallows equalized through Musa Nyatama in stoppage time and Mngqithi feels the equalizer should have been flagged for offside.
