A former referee in the Premier Soccer League has claimed that Kaizer Chiefs were robbed of a clear penalty during their clash with SuperSport United in the Betway Premiership on Saturday, October 26, 2024.

The Glamour Boys lost the tie 1-0 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, courtesy of a first-half goal from Tashreeq Morris.

Ex-PSL ref gives verdict on Kaizer Chiefs penalty claim

In an interview on SABC Sport's Soccerzone, as per iDiskiTimes, former PSL referee Victor Hlungwani asserted that Kaizer Chiefs should have been awarded a penalty in their defeat against SuperSport.

In the first half, Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Edson Castillo was fouled in the box by Bilal Baloyi, but the Soweto giants were not given a penalty despite the Venezuelan international being unable to continue the game after the tackle.

"The law says kicking an opponent is a foul," the former South African referee said.

"The ball goes in the penalty area, a 50-50 and then who kicked who? Here, you can see that Castillo got the ball, and Baloyi kicked an opponent.

"So, kicking an opponent in the penalty area, a penalty should've been awarded. It was not given, unfortunately."
