CHAN Orange 2011/South Africa: Jacob Mokhasi, “There was no penalty”

The goalkeeper of South Africa, Jacob Mokhasi, acknowledges that his team did not measure up. The Bafana captain regrets however the penalty that changed the game.

Frankly, there was no penalty for the first goal. I did not touch the Algerian player but the ball. It is penalty not valid; it's the turning point of the game. I recognize that our team has not had the expected game. That’s football, we learn every day. I congratulate Algeria for the qualification”.
