- Zungu was sent off after a reckless challenge
- Parker broke his leg and is hospitalized
- Former referee comments on the issue
WHAT HAPPENED: Zungu was representing Sundowns in the Carling Knockout game against TS Galaxy at the Mbombela Stadium, a match the latter won to make it to the quarter-finals.
However, the experienced midfielder was shown a red card in the 58th minute after a reckless challenge that left Bernard Parker's leg broken.
Damon now believes Zungu deserves a heavy punishment for his careless challenge.
WHAT HE SAID: "Such brutality should be punished in the harshest way. How about Zungu staying out for the duration of the recovery and paying compensation?" Damon opined.
"That’s how you show remorse not just an 'I am sorry' while ruining a fellow professional’s career no matter how many more years he has left."
Next Match
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Zungu, who was furious after being sent off by the referee, has not yet commented on the incident.
The fans have empathized with the former Kaizer Chiefs attacker, and just like Damon, they have asked the authorities to take stern action.
A procedure to fix Parker's leg will definitely be carried, but whether he will get back on the pitch or not is a wait-and-see.
WHAT NEXT: Everyone's focus is now on the Premier Soccer League and Safa, anticipating their next move.
So far, none has commented but a statement on the same might be coming later on.
If Zungu's punishment is extended, then Rhulani Mokwena's squad will be further depleted considering the fact that several top players are already out nursing injuries.
