Rulani takes firm stance over Maswanganyi penalty
Rulani Mokwena during the Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates joint press conference at Nedbank Offices on May 30, 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa.Head coach Rulani Mokwena has explained why he believes the decision to award Orlando Pirates a penalty for a foul on Patrick Maswanganyi was an incorrect call from the match official.
Goals came from Themba Zwane who opened the scoring early in the second-half before Pirates equalized through Maswanganyi, when he was adjudged to have been fouled inside the area by Sundowns’ Aubrey Modiba. 'Tito' stepped up himself to take the spot kick and sent Ronwen Williams the wrong way to bring The Soweto giants back into the match.
"But cup finals are like that and are about moments. Unfortunately, the moments during the 90 minutes didn't go for us. So you have to congratulate the winners Orlando Pirates and be gracious in defeat."It’s going to sound like excuses , I looked the penalty that they got and really, Tito is not even looking at the ball.
