Well respected soccer analyst and commentator Muziwethu Hadebe writes, "According to my watch, the match was left with 15-16 minutes and chikafa already on a yellow delays his substitution, he is sent off for a second bookable offence, for time wasting before the sub is made, there is a lengthy delay until chikafa leaves the pitch, as bosso take their free kick, the goalkeeper who for the duration of the chikafa sending off was fit goes to the ground, the ref takes that as time wasting and books him, he urges him up, but the keeper remains down, he is sent off for a second bookable offence, just like ckikafa for time wasting.
"The two sending offs according to my clock produce an 11-12 minutes stoppage. it means we are almost at full time, without any play since the 34-35th minute of the 2nd half."
"The 4th official signals 16 minutes of stoppage, my assumption, which might be wrong is that the 16 minutes have come from the 11-12 minutes stoppage of the sending offs plus whatever stoppage was there between the 1st minute and the 34-35th minute when the stoppage started, within the 16 min there are further delays, injury to ngondonga as well as gishon sending off. my clock was not the official one, but it is important not to just talk about the 16 minutes optional time and disregarding the stoppages within the 90 min."
