Davids again stressed the need for the introduction video assistant referee technology by the Premier Soccer League as he questioned Sitela's decisions in the match at Harry Gwala Stadium, especially the penalty from which Yusuf Maart scored the 76th-minute winner.Sitela awarded the spot-kick after Ashley du Preez went down under the challenge of Rafiq De Goede.

I think the less I say about it, the better,” Davids said.“I think everybody has seen, we need VAR.
