Mohafe (centre): Polokwane City FC.
Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe has said he was complaining for the last time in his football career about officiating in the Betway Premiership of South Africa.
Mohafe bemoaned some of the referee’s decisions in their one-all draw with Stellenbosch FC Friday. “I am disappointed. This is the first time and the last that I am going to mention this in my career,” he told SuperSport Television.
“I am disappointed with the fouls that have been given. You check where they were given and how they were given. When we got the fouls, we were not given.”
His Stellenbosch counterpart Steve Barker said he could not fault his team for getting a point, as the opponents defended jealously with Ashley Cupido’s last-gasp goal in added time rescuing a point for the West Cape-based side.
Bonginkosi Dlamini had put the visitors ahead before Cupido netted his fifth league goal in Stellenbosch FC’s colours. “I will take a point and improve in some areas going forward. It was always a question of how to find solutions to break them down,” he said.
The coach also said playing three games in a short time was taking its toll on the players.
Polokwane lie in fourth place in the table, 20 points behind runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who host Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday and three points in front of the fifth-ranked Stellenbosch FC.
