Lindokuhle Zikhali of Richards Bay challenged by Ndamulelo Maphangule of Polokwane City during the Betway Premiership at Umhlathuze Sports Complex on Sunday.

Calls for South Africa to introduce VAR are set to intensify after an incident during a first-round Premiership match on Sunday, won 2-1 by Polokwane City at Richards Bay.

When Bay appealed for a penalty in the second half, accusing Polokwane City of handball, the referee awarded a corner instead.

But after consulting an assistant referee, the referee altered the decision to a penalty, then changed his mind again and awarded a corner.

TV replays suggested the ball struck the body of substitute defender Malebogo Modise and not his hand.
