A controversial referee’s optional time penalty saved face for Kaizer Chiefs in a 1-1 stalemate against AmaZulu FC in a DStv Premiership at the Kings Park in Durban on Saturday.
Referee Jelly Chavani, after consulting with his assistant Emmanuel De Sani, judged AmaZulu defender Mbongeni Gumede to have handled inside the area, giving Keagan Dolly a chance to beat Veli Mothwa three minutes into added time.
For AmaZulu Luvuyo Memela’s 47th-minute strike looked destined to pile the pressure on beleaguered Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter, whose side are having one their poorest starts in the Premiership. Memela had plenty of space to pick his spot to beat Daniel Akpeyi in Chiefs’ goal after linking up with Keagan Buchanan on the left side of Amakhosi’s defence.
The third draw in six matches leaves Chiefs in 11th spot with six points from a possible 18. Baxter continues to be plagued by a multitude of questions about what he needs to do get his side performing in his second spell at a club he won two league titles with between 2012 and 2015.
