South African Football Association (SAFA) head, Mr. Tobogo Motlanthe alleges their defeat to the black stars at the Cape cost sports stadium to deny their world cup hopes was a fixed game.
Al Sadd playmaker, Andre Ayew scored the only goal at the cape cost sport stadium to book the black stars place at the play off stage.
According to Tobogo, the South African Football Association are gathering relevant information to prove their course.
“We approached the match commissioner and informed him of our intention to lodge a formal complaint to CAF and FIFA about the questionable officiating during the match,” said (SAfA) CEO Tebogo Motlanthe after the match.
He added that “We believe Sunday match was fixed and we are collecting information to prove our case. We are well informed that Ghana knew that they were going to get a penalty, it was a question of when, and this confirms our suspicions.
We want to thank and compliment these young Bafana players for the commitment they have shown to the country. They fought very hard and unfortunately it was spoiled by the referee. But we will continue to support the boys emotionally because they are gutted.”
The Black stars are through to the play off stage after Andre Ayew scored from the penalty sport. The grouping of the play off stage is likely to come off on Friday 19th November 2021.
