Mhango’s equaliser was the kind of finish you rarely see in in South Africa‚ or when you do it is from the sofa at home in front of the television watching the top leagues of the world.
At 2-2 it could have been 5-2 to Pirates‚ who dominated the second half. Three times they struck the woodwork as Daniel Akpeyi in the Chiefs goal led a charmed‚ and unconvincing‚ existence. There was still time for some handbags as the players squabbled and referee Thando Ndzandzeka sent off Mulomowandau Mathoho. It was a silly red he will rue but seemed a tad harsh for a bit of chest thumping.
Tshegofatso Mabasa should have equalised deep in stoppage time and we would have avoided the crass sight of Ernst Middendorp pumping his fists from his elbow at opposing coach Rhulani Mokoena‚ and bellowing out a loud cry‚ in a gesture that does not sit well with the Chiefs image of ‘love and peace’.
He had obviously had enough of Picasso and Da Vinci but if he looks hard in the mirror will know the win was no masterpiece.Would you like to comment on this article or view other readers' comments? Register or sign in now.
