Golden Arrows head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has made a passionate plea to the Premier Soccer League to introduce VAR after Kaizer Chiefs’ controversial winning goal on Tuesday night.
Aden McCarthy bundled the ball home late in the first half, although replays showed the Chiefs defender was in an offside position.

Arrows were unable to claw themselves back in the contest and suffered a 1-0 defeat at FNB Stadium.
“First thing I can tell you is that the PSL will forever have issues for as long as this issue of VAR is not taken care off, the stakes are very high, we work very hard to build our teams and if you want to see that this goal was an offside just wait for the touch that goes to Silva and already Aiden McCarthy is on the other side – he is offside,” Mngqithi told SuperSport TV.
“And we lose the game nobody cares, we concede goals people are saying you concede goals because you don’t defend well, but the reality is the league must work very hard on working on this thing, The game has become too dynamic, the game has become too dynamic.
“It’s not us, it’s the game that should tell us, it’s too difficult even for the officials to follow and track the runs of these players because I cannot always blame the officials.

“The game itself has become too dynamic and it demands we must respond to that, we’re not playing for R500 000 here, we’re playing for R20 million so we should be considering, looking into this thing of VAR otherwise we will keep losing matches like this and people will be ok with it.”
