Did the match official make the right call by awarding Kaizer Chiefs a penalty for a handball in the box against Cape Town City on Saturday afternoon?

The referee blew for a kick on the spot after Taariq Fielies was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area while trying to block Khama Billiat’s shot at goal.

Amakhosi defender Daniel Cardoso stepped up to take the spot-kick but blazed his effort high and wide of the target.

However, Chiefs went on to advance to the quarter-finals of the Telkom Knockout Cup after securing a 4-2 win on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time at Cape Town Stadium.
