With Richards Bay pushing for a late equalizer, the ball struck Polokwane City's player inside the box; there was a handball appeal, and the referee signalled for a corner kick. After an appeal by the home team, the referee consulted his assistant, who overturned the decision to award a penalty. The decision caused absolute chaos at Umhlathuze Sports Complex; this decision contributed to a 2-1 win for Rise and Shine. Richards Bay chairman Jomo Biyela was seen confronting the referee on the pitch following the final whistle. The SAFA refereeing department could not be reached for comment at the time of compiling this report.
