Fifa and Caf Referees Development Officer and Instructor Jerome Damon has explained why Maritzburg United’s second and winning goal against Kaizer Chiefs was legitimate.
Judas Moseamedi came from an offside position when Bandile Shandu was in possession of the ball and the lanky striker duly slotted home to make it 2-1 for the Team of Choice from an onside position seconds later.
A section of fans felt while Moseamedi may have been onside at the time the ball was played to him, he already had an advantage over the opposition defence because he was coming from an offside position.
