Mango breaks silence on controversial Sangare incident

Moroka Swallows attacker Gabadinho Mhango has finally broken his silence on the controversial incident when the Dube Birds were awarded a stoppage-time goal over Sekhukhune United.

The Malawian appeared to push the Sekhukhune goalkeeper over the goal-line when in possession of the ball with the officials awarding a goal in a 2-1 win.

Referee Siyabonga Nkomo and assistant Thamaga Sebati were as a result suspended by the SAFA referee committee.

"I was just jumping in case the ball dropped," Mhango tells KickOff.

It was a crucial moment, and you will never know if the keeper sometimes will drop the ball or not.

"So, I was doing it with the hope that something might happen. I played to the whistle as expected from a striker. 

"I just played it smart, maybe the goalkeeper was scared thinking I was going to step on his foot.

"He was trying to run away from that, but by the time he realised what had happened, he was over the goal line.

"But at the end of the day, a win is a win, whether the linesman did his job that's not up to me.

"At the end of the day, I was just doing my job as a striker.

"It was just a matter of time before this happened, as a striker you have to do your best and be smart.

"You will have to do what you have to do to help the team progress.

"You have to score a lot of goals."

The win saw Swallows move to eighth position in the DStv Premiership standings.
