After Patrick Maswanganyi came up to convert the spot-kick, the Buccaneers took home a crucial three points and bragging rights.
The referee's decision to point to the spot in the 93rd minute after Njabulo Blom seemed to have impeded Relebohile Mofokeng, however, was the subject of much discussion.
But Ncobo maintained that Bambiso made all of the right choices about the situation. "First and foremost, we have to commend the decision's bravery," he stated during extra time.
"I've heard a lot of opinions on 'advantage.' Let's first rule that out: the referee did not grant any benefit.
He doesn't extend any arm to show an advantage at any moment during the entire play phase. After assessing the circumstances, he sounds the whistle and indicates the penalty spot.
There was no benefit! "The referee examined that event and the holding that was occurring within the penalty area.
Take a look at how the holding affects the player [Mofokeng], who was in possession when the holding began.
Now that he is being prevented from regaining possession, he loses it, and just as he is about to regain it, another defender [Bvuma] is there because that is what a goalkeeper does: another defender is attacking the ball right in front of him.
The instant the ball scrapes beyond the outside of the upright, the referee sounds his whistle. Did he provide a benefit? No.
Was it right of him to give an advantage? No, therefore the benefit was not realized. It wouldn't have been an advantage because there was no striker who was the target of an offense while in possession of the ball.
People have been questioning, "Why no red card?" in reference to the second point. Even though a penalty is given, it's a straight red because there was no attempt to play the ball and there was a clear goal-scoring opportunity due to holding.
However, the goalie eliminated any clear chance of a goal as soon as he entered the game; thus, there was no DOGSO.
As a result, the player holding an opponent became a common occurrence, and a penalty was given.
"Perfect decision in the boldness of the moment, perfect decision in the awarding of a penalty, perfect judgment in the issuance of a yellow card." The referee's performance was lovely.
