Chavani who is highly rated as one of the top referees in South African football, took the spotlight when he disallowed what looked a legitimate goal, scored by Chippa United player Boikanyo Komane.
Chippa United thought they have equalized when Komane headed the ball in the net in 78th minutes, the referee blew his whistle for a foul on Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, Television replays from different angles showed that the Chiefs keeper was impended by his teammate Akumu Agay.
Football fans took to different social media platforms to react to the incident some went as far as accusing the young referee for being on someone’s payroll.
“The PSL and SAFA must do something about this type of match officials, it’s uncalled for, Chippa United might be relegated ,that goal might have saved them” Tweeted Eliyah
“We still have a long way to go in South African football,it was day light robbery, I can’t believe a legitimate goal was disallowed, someone is pushing Chiefs to win the league” – Sundowns Fanatic wrote on Facebook
