Fernando Da Cruz calls for VAR after 1-1 stalemate with Polokwane City

Lebohang Maboe was on target for Amakhosi at the Peter Mokaba Stadium after 29 minutes but Giovanni Philander popped up with a 73rd minute equaliser for a share of the spoils.

The result saw Da Cruz's side end the afternoon in fourth place on the league standings with 12 points from six games. Rise and Shine are in seventh place with seven points.

Reflecting on the match, the Amakhosi boss felt his side deserved a penalty in the second half for a foul on Pule Mmodi.

Da Cruz also explained that his side were denied legitimate goals in recent matches with Richards Bay and Siwelele.

"To develop the PSL (Premier Soccer League) to help our referees we need to set-up the VAR," Da Cruz said.

"Against Richards Bay one was offside, there was no offside and then we could score goals. Against Siwelele the goal of [Wandile] Duba was a goal and today there was a penalty. If we want to continue to develop the championship we need to set-up the VAR to help our referees.

"Sometimes it can be against us but for three games it can be with us.

"Without offending or attacking the referee but it's important to set-up the VAR to support and to help the referee on the field," added the Brazilians boss.
