Johannesburg – Kaizer Chiefs will be left unimpressed with CAF when they take a look at the match officials that have been selected for Saturday’s second-leg CAF Champions League clash against Simba SC.
Gavin Hunt’s Chiefs head to Tanzania with a rather comfortable 4-0 first leg lead however they will know the task is far from over.
Tanzania has never been an easy place to travel to for CAF away matches. Simba have been developing a reputation for making life as uncomfortable for their visitors as possible which makes Chiefs’ task all the more trickier.
The Tanzanian team was heavily criticised by both Al Ahly and Al Merrikh FC to off-field stunts during the 2020/2021 CAF Champions League group stages and Gavin Hunt’s Kaizer Chiefs will likely be faced with similar issues.
The match officials list for Saturday afternoon’s clash has been revealed and it will leave Amakhosi extremely anxious.
Four Burundian referees have been given the honours to officiate the second leg CAF Champions League Quarterfinal match between visitors Kaizer Chiefs and their neighbours from Tanzania Simba FC.
Dubious refereeing already clouded the quarter-final first leg matches with Al Ahly and Wydad Casablanca filing complaints over referees making CAF’s decision for an Eastern African refereeing team questionable.
The match gets underway at 15:00 SAST.
