Orlando Pirates advanced to the Nedbank Cup semi-finals after a hard fought 5-4 penalty shootout victory over Dondol Stars.
But the much anticipated clash did not end without some controversy.
A Pirates official allegedly put Dondol keeper, Sphamandla Gumede's life at risk by taking away his water bottle.
According to Dondol co-coach, Khuliso Rashamuse, their keeper asthma, so he keeps water next to him at all times next to his goal posts, since he can't have his pump on the field.
"Spha had a water bottle by the goalposts and it was just pure, pure water. So the cadre there from Orlando Pirates I don’t know his name but that was very disgusting, you don’t do that," said Rashamuse after the match as quoted by iDiski Times. https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/nedbank-cup/that-was-disgusting-rashamuse/
"Because you know this is a game of tempers we end up losing our tempers and respect. Spha has asthma. So if he doesn’t have the pump he needs the water that’s why I was angry.
"He went there and took the water bottle, now the game is on and Spha is focusing on the guy that was doing that. That was a total zero for me."

In football you can never be too sure, probably the poor Pirates official might have thought there was some muthi on that water bottle, and decided to take one for the team.
