Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiaye awarded the match-winning penalty to Ghana and made other decisions that SA say benefited Ghana.Not since the World Cup tournament was awarded to SA to host 17 years ago has the nation been as invested in the outcome of a Fifa meeting as they will be when the world governing body meets on Tuesday to make a decision that could have serious ramifications for Bafana Bafana.

Safa wants the game to be replayed at a neutral venue and for action to be taken against Ndiaye and his colleagues Samba Elhadji Malick , Camara Djibril and Gueye Daouda . Bafana's hopes of continuing the journey to Qatar depend on the Fifa disciplinary committee ruling in SA's favour on Tuesday. “The Fifa disciplinary committee will inform us if they want us to make oral representations in addition to the documents we have submitted,” Motlanthe said.

Ncobo said in the report 90.9% of the incorrect decisions, of which there were an unusually high proportion, made by Ndiaye went against Bafana. He said this proves the game was “unlawfully manipulated” and that, in terms of Fifa rules, the result of a 1-0 win to Ghana should be made null and void.
