Nasreddine Nabi cries foul after Kaizer Chiefs draw with Magesi: 'Duba was denied a penalty! Time for VAR' - 'Amakhosi are punished in every game by referees'

Kaizer Chiefs fought from two goals down to register a 2-2 draw with Magesi FC on Wednesday night in the Premier Soccer League fixture staged at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Wonderboy Makhubu and Elvis Chipezeze were on target for the hosts while Mduduzi Shabalala responded for the Soweto Giants with a brace to ensure spoils were shared.

Chiefs coach was not happy after the game because he felt Amakhosi were denied a penalty following what he felt was an illegal challenge for Wandile Dube in the danger zone.

"Obviously we are very disappointed but we have to talk about how the officials are officiating the game," Nabi said.

"We believe that it’s more than time that VAR comes into this beautiful league, the PSL because we believe that there was a penalty on Duba, everyone is going to see the images." 

Ahead of the second goal for the Glamour Boys, the tactician argues Happy Mashiane was the one fouled and not the other way around.

"The second goal they scored it’s a free-kick for us but it becomes a free-kick for them, which gives them the second goal," Nabi added.

"We don’t want to put pressure on anybody, we know the referees are human beings and make mistakes too. But we urge the body officials of the league to bring VAR to help the referees because every time we feel that we are being punished every game."

Chiefs have now collected just one point from their last three league matches after a good start that saw them win the opening two fixtures.

"It is not time to panic, we know what we need to do because our issues are kind of obvious. Every game we have the most possession and we need just to convert that possession into scoring goals," Nabi continued.

"We believe that in the future, with that kind of possession [we will score], we appreciate that we're improving but we are disappointed that we have lost two points."

Magesi continue their adventure in top-flight football with another interesting fixture against TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout quarter-final outing.

However, all eyes will be at the FNB Stadium where Amakhosi will be going for nothing less than revenge against Sundowns in the aforementioned competition.

Downs claimed a controversial 2-1 win when the two teams met recently in the PSL.
