Zifa lodge complaint against ref

ZIFA has lodged an official complaint with the Confederation of African Football (Caf) over the conduct of Burundian referee, Suavis Iratunga in the Africa Women Cup of Nations Group A match between Zimbabwe and Egypt.

Iratunga disallowed what seemed a legitimate Felistas Muzongondi equaliser six minutes before full-time.

While most people who watched the match on television were left with the belief that the goal was ruled out for offside, it emerged that the match official blew for an infringement on the Egyptian goalkeeper and yet there was no contact between her and the Zimbabwean players.
