After viewing the goal from different angles, Theron believes the striker was offside when he received the ball before putting it in the back of the net.
“From what I can see it was certainly an offside for the simple reason that the blue attacker’s leg was in front of the second-last defender when he received the ball,” Theron told SAFM.
“That was definitely an offside, whoever says it’s not offside doesn’t understand the Fifa rules. Give that linesman a Bell’s, he did it without VAR. The correct angle is the one perpendicular to the assistant ref,” added the retired referee.
