As the axe threatens to fall on Maritzburg United, who ended their DStv Premiership campaign on Tuesday, club chairman Farouk Kadodia is concerned about final match-day skullduggery come Saturday. | Sport24news
Pretoria Callies, who went into the match with little at stake, were crushed 4-0 by Polokwane City and the latter gained promotion into the elite league, while log leaders on that final day, Cape Town Spurs, drew 1-1 against the University of Pretoria to end in second place and their direct promotion denied.
"We were upset at the fact that we had to play this game knowing that there are teams who have an unfair advantage." Kadodia said the club had walked this path before when they saved themselves with a late 3-1 win over Jomo Cosmos in 2016 that ended up sinking the latter while Maritzburg stayed up. Kadodia, who admitted later in the post-match interview that he had forgotten that the league had, at times, finished later to accommodate CAF combatants, said the league should have gone for an alternative date that would accommodated all the teams."The moment the league realised that there were three teams fighting for relegation, there should have been an approach to see how an alternative date could be found to resolve this issue," Kadodia said.
