Over the loss to Orlando Pirates, Benni McCarthy Slams A Middle Man.
After AmaZulu’s Nedbank Cup exit at the hands of Orlando Pirates, head coach Benni McCarthy claims his team was defeated by the’man in the middle.’
On Sunday afternoon, Usuthu lost 1-0 to the Buccaneers, with Deon Hotto scoring the winner and Tapelo Xoki having a late penalty saved at the other end.
In the first half, the ball struck Goodman Mosele in the box, but instead of awarding a penalty, the referee decided to restart the game with a drop ball.
After the game, McCarthy told SuperSport, “I’m going to say out of courtesy congratulations to Pirates.”
“They scored on their chance, and you saw what we were about, and if there was justice in this world, we would be standing here telling a different story.” If you’re a football fan, you’ve probably noticed what’s going on in the game when it comes to decisions that cause your team to lose a game. Because I counted three penalties, you must now be pleased because justice has been served. Come on, there’s no such thing as justice in this world.
“What a fantastic football game.” Yes, we’re a small team, but we play with a lot of heart and character on the field, and I couldn’t be more proud of our current group of players. Being separated from But there are many positives to take away for us, and we can only improve. I’m extremely proud of my players, who could not have done more.
“They were defeated today by the man in the middle, not by our opponents, and I’m going to stick to that because that’s how I feel and how everyone else who loves and knows football feels.” Today’s opponents did not defeat us.”
