Maritzburg United beat Kaizer Chiefs 3-2 in a high tension game. United defender Gary Goldstone should have been shown the red-card for elbowing Amakhosi's striker Tshepo Bulu, breaking his nose in the process.
The game was played at Durban's Chatsworth Stadium. Chiefs' loss means that they are still on zero points after two Absa Premiership matches, while Maritzburg are on four points.
The Maritzburg win puts them in the third place in log standings while Kaizer Chiefs is on the bottom with no win.
In a press conference after the game Chiefs coach criticised United's coach, Gordon Igesund, for "instructing his players" to implement robust tactics and bone-crunching tackles in Amakhosi's second successive defeat at the start of the Premier League campaign.
Maritzburg assistant coach Clinton Larson said,” This is nothing more than a case of sour grapes and an outrageous allegation," said Larson. "If the Chiefs coach can't take the heat, he should not be in the kitchen."
