Stars captain questions Pirates’ penalty decision

Free State Stars captain Paulus Masehe questioned the penalty decision against them in their game against Orlando Pirates at the Orlando Stadium over the weekend.


Pirates were awarded a penalty when defender Rooi Mahamutsa was adjudged to have committed a foul in the penalty box.

“We played put game the way we could, but unfortunately we lost the game,” said Masehe. “The penalty we conceded, I don’t know about it, I don’t think it should have been given from where I was we can look at it, but the game has been played and the results is up there now.”

Masehe believes Stars can still fight their way out of the relegation zone in the remaining games.
