Coach says poor officiating led to losses against SuperSport‚ Maritzburg and Highlands Park
Increasingly pressured Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has bemoaned “a run of unfortunate decisions” against his team since the beginning of the year as the formidable lead his charges once enjoyed continues to be shredded each week.
But another defeat‚ this time at home to Maritzburg United on February 15‚ once again stopped their campaign in its tracks, and the knockout blow they received away from home at Highlands Park in the Nedbank Cup via penalties at the weekend turned their season from ecstasy to agony. “We lost against Maritzburg United last week and, judging by the reviews‚ we were denied the penalty that could have changed the game.
Middendorp watched in disbelief as Chiefs crashed out of the Nedbank Cup against Highlands at a wet and windy Makhulong Stadium in Tembisa at the weekend.
