'Maybe the ref has different eyes' - Orlando Pirates boss Ncikazi reacts to Nyauza red

The Buccaneers took a point as they spent the better part of the game a man short in their 2-2 draw with Stellenbosch on Saturday

Orlando Pirates interim co-coach Mandla Ncikazi feels referee Thando Ndzandzeka might have made a wrong call when he red-carded Ntsikelelo Nyauza during Saturday’s Premier Soccer League 2-2 draw against Stellenbosch at Orlando Stadium.

The Orlando Pirates defender, who was playing as a right-back, was sent off in the 41st minute when the scoreline was 1-1. Nyauza appeared to have elbowed Ashley Du Preez before stomping on the Stellenbosch attacker inside the penalty box.
