Bucs owe their recovery and victory to referee Masixole Bambiso, who gave them a dubious penalty in the 35th minute for Gabadinho Mhango to cancel out Charlton Mashumba’s 12th minute opener.

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

Bucs’ two second half substitutes Tshogofatso Mabasa and Kabelo Dlamini provided the winning goals for Rulani Mokwena’s men to lead 3-1 before Polokwane forced a tense finish when Mpho Mvelase reduced the score in the dying seconds.

Bambiso judged Polokwane defender Nicolas Motloung to have handled the ball in a goalmouth scramble but the replays showed that the ball hit Motloung just above the knee. Tlolane fouled Lorch on the right side of the centre line in the 39th minute and just as the Pirates ace was getting up, Tlolane further blasted the ball against him.

Playing against a Polokwane team which had lost all their last five matches before coming to Orlando, Bucs were expected to pick up maximum points and move into the top half of the log.

WeleSeg Hey wena dobious paper, we have been at the receiving end of debious decisions in favour of your favorite Chiefs, you said nothing. Our coach said these things will level themselves up over time. That is were we are.

Admin remove that mask we know your breathing through the wound.

First time ever getting a report like this over match officiating. These things have been happening with a lot of frequency elsewhere and I've only relied on TheRealPitso to speak out. Let's hope we will have consistency reporting going forward

Pirates won...analysts..commentators..journalists..are more than welcomed to berate our victory....we as Pirates fans won't be guilt-tripped by media..that never say anything when OP lost because of a dubiously awarded goal or penalty.

No journalism here... Pure subjective admin😣😧
