Stellenbosch FC head coach Steve Barker criticizes a controversial Abongile Tom’s referee decision that dramatically shifted the MTN8 final.Stellenbosch FC head coach Barker did not hold back in his criticism of the referee’s decision that altered the outcome of the MTN8 final. As Orlando Pirates claimed a 3-1 victory at Moses Mabhida Stadium, Barker felt the late call shifted the game’s dynamics entirely.
The coach acknowledged that critics might label his comments as “sour grapes.” However, he stood firm: “A decision in the 90th minute changes the course of the game.”Barker’s frustrations highlight a crucial point regarding the Laws of the Game. According to Law 13, free kicks must be executed from the exact spot of the foul. If a free kick is taken closer to the opponent’s goal, the referee is obligated to enforce a retake.
