Safa head of referees Abdul Ebrahim has stated the reaction to the penalty awarded to Kaizer Chiefs during last Saturday’s 1-1 Premier Soccer League draw against AmaZulu is “disappointing” but feels match officials are “humans” susceptible to errors.
Chiefs were trailing 1-0 since the start of the second half until they were controversially awarded an injury-time penalty by referee Jelly Chavani after an Usuthu defender was adjudged to have handled inside the box.
Keagan Dolly converted from the spot and the whole incident drew the ire of AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy as well as fans who vented their anger on social media.
