Former Orlando Pirates striker Manenzhe: Shalulile’s goal for Mamelodi Sundowns should have stood

The game in Tshwane was drawn 1-1 which means the Egyptian giants booked their spot in the Caf CL semi-finals with a 3-1 aggregate scoreline

Former Orlando Pirates striker Phumudzo Manenzhe believes that the match officials got it wrong in denying Peter Shalulile a goal for Mamelodi Sundowns against Al Ahly in a Caf Champions League match at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday night.

Al Ahly had gone ahead after 11 minutes when Yasser Ibrahim headed in, before Mosa Lebusa netted with a header of his own to restore parity on the half-hour mark.

Downs enjoyed the bulk of the play and thought they had scored a second when Shalulile controlled a ball from Kermit Erasmus inside the box before finishing with an expertly-taken volley.
