Nasreddine Nabi calls for VAR after Magesi draw
The Chiefs conceded a goal in the sixth minute, with a strike from Wonderboy Makhubu for Magesi.
Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has called for VAR to be introduced to the Betway Premiership.
They managed to go ahead with two goals, courtesy of Edmore Chirambadare in the 72nd minute.
However, Chiefs equalised with a quick brace from Mduduzi Shabalala, resulting in a shared point.
This draw leaves Chiefs with just two wins from five league matches, alongside the same number of losses, placing them eighth in the standings.
Nabi reflected on the match, saying, “Obviously we are very disappointed but we have to talk about how the officials are officiating the game. We believe that it’s more than time that VAR comes into this beautiful league, the PSL because we believe that there was a penalty on [Wandile] Duba, everyone is going to see the images. And the second goal they scored it’s a free-kick for us but it becomes a free-kick for them, which gives them the second goal.”
While he voiced his concerns about the referees, Nabi stopped short of solely blaming them, advocating instead for the introduction of VAR in South Africa.
“We don’t want to put pressure on anybody, we know the referees are human beings and make mistakes too. But we urge the body officials of the league to bring VAR to help the referees because every time we feel that we are being punished every game.”
