Upon review, it's clear that Msimango's challenge clipped Ribeiro's heels, warranting a free kick. However, whether it merits a straight red card or a yellow is debatable.
Since Ditlhokwe was also in a defensive position, Msimango may not have been the last defender, complicating the referee Tom's decision.

18' DRAMA! Given Msimango has received his marching orders. Abongile Tom has sent the defender to the showers early for a challenge on Lucas Ribeiro.
Cavin Johnson is fuming on the sidelines.

15' It has been a slow start to this fixture. Both sides feel out one another, with neither side wanting to make an error. Very tactical but as expected.

In the history of their matchups, both Chiefs and Sundowns have celebrated 4-0 victories, with Chiefs achieving this feat in 1987 and 1992, while Sundowns secured their dominant win more recently during the 2022/23 season.
