Referee Abongile Tom speaks Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs players during the DStv Premiership match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs at Lucas Moripe Stadium on August 09, 2023 in Pretoria, South Africa.Both of Mamelodi Sundowns' match-winning goals against Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows should have been ruled offside according to retired top-flight referee Victor Hlungwani.
The Brazilians are on an impressive three-match winning streak across all competitions since the start of the season, having left Sekhukhune United, Chiefs and Swallows in their wake.However, retired referee Hlungwani believes at least two of Sundowns' goals from those encounters should not have stood.
"We go straight to Lucas Moripe [Stadium] where we had Sundowns and Chiefs. We can see the ball is played in front, Ditlhokwe playing it back to the goalkeeper and Shalulile chasing," Hlungwani said on"The ball is played to Shalulile and in that position, when we evaluate, we realise that he is in an offside position because the ball was last played by his teammate.
"When the ball is last played by your teammate and you play the ball or touch the ball, you are interfering with play. "We can show it to you with no shadow of a doubt that Shalulile is offside and when he plays the ball, he is now interfering with play. So the flag should have gone up for offside, that goal should not have been allowed."
