MAGESI FC STUN SUPERSPORT UNITED AS GAVIN HUNT RECEIVES A RED CARD

Earlier this afternoon, Magesi secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against SuperSport United at the Seshego Stadium. Mcedi Vandala won and converted a penalty in the second half to end the club’s two-match losing streak.

SuperSport United are now just three points above the promotion playoffs spot after 19 matches played. ‘Matsatsantsa’ coach Gavin Hunt finished the match in the stands after receiving a red card in the 13th minute.

ANDRE ARENDE BLAMES MISUNDERSTANDING AS HIS BOSS IS SHOWN MARCHING ORDERS

Assistant coach Andre Arendse, who took charge for the rest of the match, explained why the 60-year-old was shown his marching orders.

“The whole red card was missing in translation. He was talking to his own players on the bench, and the officials took it the wrong way,” said Arendse.

“It was very unfortunate and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. It is what it is, and that’s what happened.”
