Kaizer Chiefs Fans Slam Khanyisa Mayo After He Taps In Pule Mmodi’s Goal-Bound Shot From Offside

Kaizer Chiefs were left ruing missed opportunities after Khanyisa Mayo controversially denied his own teammate a clear goal in their 1-1 draw with AmaZulu at FNB Stadium.

A Match-Winning Chance Gone Wrong

The dramatic incident unfolded when Pule Mmodi’s well-placed strike beat AmaZulu goalkeeper Johnson and was rolling toward the back of the net. However, Mayo, who was standing in an offside position, tapped the ball across the line. The referee immediately disallowed the goal, leaving Chiefs players and fans in disbelief.

Amakhosi Dominated but Failed to Convert

Chiefs had started brightly, creating multiple chances throughout the match, but their final execution in front of goal was lacking. The disallowed goal summed up the team’s night — dominance without reward. AmaZulu capitalized and managed to hold on for a 1-1 stalemate, a result that left the home fans venting their frustrations.

Fans React With Outrage

Khanyisa Mayo’s blunder has drawn a wave of outrage online, with fans accusing him of selfishness and trying to steal the glory from teammate Pule Mmodi. Many argue that his decision to tap in a ball that was already crossing the line was unnecessary and cost Kaizer Chiefs a crucial victory. The incident has led to harsh criticism, with Mayo being labelled greedy and not a true team player.

Here are some of the reactions;

@Chris

This is unforgivable. CR Belouizdad must come collect their shit player Khanyisa Mayo. He wanted to steal the shine. He stole Kaizer Chiefs victory. Bloody greedy thief.

@Thami Mvelase ;

@Tebogo Modikwe

KHANYISA MAYO

Too Greedy That Goal Wasn’t His, Pule_Modi Would Have Helped Makhosi To Take A Lead.

@Soccer Bullet:

Khanyisa Mayo with unbelievable greediness and selfishness

I understand Mayo being hungry to make it 2 goals in 2 games for his new club but HAYI! that cannot come at the expense of his team and potentially the result.

That was so selfish of Mayo. He shouldn’t have touched that ball!

@Erico Mathohiano;

Khanyiso Mayo needs to learn to be a team player

We don’t expect such things from an experienced player like him!

People should stop defending him — that was not a mistake.

Why didn’t he just wait for the ball to cross the line? Even Pule Mmodi was shouting at him!

He ran straight to the ball… how does that make it a mistake?
Even if some try to defend him, the truth is it was selfish, and it cost the team three points.
