Bafana Bafana team manager Vincent Tseka missed midfielder Teboho Mokoenas second yellow card because he had left the field to fetch ice for the players.
This is according to Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie , who cited a report from the South African Football Association SAFA on Tuesday 4 November.
Prior to Bafanas 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lesotho in March this year, Mokoena had picked up two yellow cards. He was thus ineligible to play but the team fielded him.
