Usuthu suffered a 1-0 defeat but many fans and pundits say Hendrick Ekstein’s goal in the 65th minute should have been allowed. The former Kaizer Chiefs was a fraction onside when he receives the ball and should have been given the benefit of the doubt from the lines-man.
AmaZulu coach was fuming after the match.
