Phunya Sele Sele is injured after her narrow defeat to Masandawana in the Cup final
Bloemfontein Celtic has updated its case against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Phunya Sele Sele has protested the ineligibility of Sundowns defender Tebogo Langerman to participate in the Nedbank Cup final this past weekend.
Langerman collected five yellow cards before the final and the experienced player was suspended for the game played at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
The encounter ended in a 1-0 victory for the Sundowns with Langerman as an unused substitute.
Celtic has confirmed that the case has been referred to expedited arbitration on Wednesday afternoon.
“Our case against Mamelodi Sundowns has been referred to expedited arbitration.”
“The club will announce the date once it is confirmed by the league,” a club statement read.
Under PSL regulations, a protest must be filed at least 30 minutes before the start of the match, and anything signed after or even after the match is considered a complaint, as former PSL general manager Ace said on Sunday. Ncobo.
This means that if Phunya Sele Sele had protested 30 minutes before the match, then it is likely that the Brazilians would have lost the match and would have been fined.
In this case, it is highly likely that the PSL Disciplinary Committee will fine Sundowns as the match was not played under protest and Celtic filed their appeal after the match.
The only goal of the match was scored by Gaston Sirino with 10 minutes left and the victory earned the Sundowns their fifth Nedbank Cup.
The victory saw Pitso Mosimane’s team complete a hat-trick after also winning the PSL title and the Telkom Knockout Cup this season.
However, Celtic qualified for next season’s Caf Confederation Cup, while Sundowns will represent the country in the Caf Champions League.
The new 2020/21 season is expected to start next month.
