Farai Dziva|Zimbabwean coach Kaitano “Munhumutema” Tembo has blasted a South African referee for sending off Supersport United captain Dean Furman in controversial circumstances.

Tembo questioned referee Phelelani Ndaba’s performance during their league match against Bidvest Wits on Saturday.

The referee gave United captain Dean Furman an undeserved red card with only 25 minutes before the end of the match.
Ndaba and his assistant also denied Wits forward Terrence Dzvukamanja a legitimate goal which could have changed the outcome of the encounter.The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

“I think from the point of view of the officiating, the game was a mess from the beginning,” Tembo told Kick-Off.com.

“… But I am very proud, they played well in the last 25 minutes with ten men against a team like Wits. It’s not easy, they are a good team.”
