41 minutes of play in the first half, the match between Dynamos and Highlanders was abandoned after a chaos between the assistant referee and Highlanders supporters culminated by some childish antics from Highlanders’ right back defender.
Highlanders took the lead after they converted a short corner that caught the Dynamos defense unaware to make the scoreline 1-0 in favor of Highlanders.The match was amusing as Dynamos players and Highlanders players showed some professionalism by not fouling each other aggressively.
It looked liked a bad day in office for Rodrick Mutuma whose former playmates outwitted him as if they at training.
Dynamos import, Cameroonian Christian then leveled then scoreline in the 41 minute which was like a blew of the final whistle for the Highlanders supporters..The referee did not blew the whistle for off side as anticipated by the Highlanders supporters and Highlanders’ right back player.
Dynamos’s Christian on the right flank was unmarked whilst Highlanders right back was covering him for offside.Dynamos was attacking Highlanders and the Highlanders right back upon realizing that he was covering Christian, stepped upfront whilst Dynamos was still attacking.The assistant referee could not raise his flag because as Dynamos was still attacking , Christian had not changed position.
Supersport commentators could be heard on television remarking that it was a clear off side.However this reporter during his football stints as a player at Mosquito United in Selebi Phikwe in Botswana can reveal that his coach said that a right back can go and mark a right winger of their opponents if he is unmarked and in the danger zone.
Highlanders right back behaved like a child who could not be accountable for his mistake by covering off side and then run away from his position without marking the opponent.He wanted the referee to believe he was not on that position when Dynamos was attacking whilst.
Highlanders supporters then started to behave barbaric after the referee awarded a goal to Dynamos spoiling a good game in the name their entrance fees. Christian was inside when he scored unless Highlanders had attacked Dynamos and their right back moved in such procession.
