Controversial Offside Rekindles VAR Push After Kaizer Chiefs’ 1–0 Win

Golden Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi cites offside replays to urge the PSL to adopt VAR.

Overview

  • Kaizer Chiefs beat Golden Arrows 1–0 at FNB Stadium with a first‑half goal from Aden McCarthy.
  • Mngqithi argues the scorer became offside when the ball deflected off Flavio Silva before the finish.
  • Replays highlighted by broadcasters and pundits, including Junior Khanye, backed claims the goal was offside.
  • The coach frames VAR as essential given the league’s pace and the reported R20 million stakes per season.
  • Arrows slipped to 10th with a fourth straight defeat as Chiefs maintained title-chase momentum, and the PSL has not announced any VAR plan or formal response.
