Orlando Pirates fans on social media blasted iDiski TV‘s Nkululeko Nkewu and Junior Khanye following their comments on the MTN8 final.
Orlando Pirates defeated Stellenbosch FC 3-1 in the final played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening. The match though produced drama in the final minutes when Tshegofatso Mabasa scored Pirates’ second goal.
Th Buccaneers’ midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi was fouled and Relebohile Mofokeng took a quick free kick, which Mabasa finished off in the dying minutes. The goal was given despite the fact that the free kick was taken several metres to where Maswanganyi was fouled.
Speaking on iDiski TV, Khanye and Nkeu felt Stellies were robbed in the MTN8 final.
“The referee made a blunder with the second goal,” Khanye said.
“The Stellies players were caught off-guard. They were hoping that they ball will start where the foul was which will give them time to regroup but Mofokeng was smart to react quicker. However he started the ball a few metres from where the foul initially happened,” said the ex-Kaizer Chiefs star.
