Former PSL referee Victor Hlungwani said that referee Luxolo Badi made the right calls in letting Kaizer Chiefs give up a penalty and being reduced to 10 men.
"The Principal" maintained that Badi, who had faced intense criticism for his choices in the same match a month prior, was at the top of his game this afternoon, making three crucial choices.
Hlungwani praised the referee for making the right call in the first incident, which involved Njabulo Blom fouling Lucas Ribeiro in the 18-yard area, resulting in a penalty kick for Mamelodi Sundowns.
Some people ask, "Was it a foul or not?" after a penalty is handed. On SABC Sport's Soccerzone, Hlungwani stated, "Let's go watch it."
Whatever you do, it is against the rules of the game if you are supporting Blom or my friend. As you can see, he began with the knee and landed him on the ground.
"There, Luxolo Badi made the right choice in imposing a penalty," he stated. The second incident that was examined involved Peter Shalulile scoring a goal, although the opposition supporters claimed that the Sundowns attacker was offside.
Hlungwani went on, "Shalulile scored a goal, and many are claiming he's offside, but let's go and check." According to the law, if a player is behind the ball or an opponent is nearby, he cannot be offside.
If you look at it now, you can see that Shalulile is behind the ball. He's not keeping up. He is not in an offside position, even if you are behind the ball.
Since the player was behind the ball, Zakhele Siwela made the proper decision by choosing not to flag. "It complies with the game's rules," he added. After Miguel Inacio committed a second legally criminal infraction, he was finally given his marching orders.
