PASUWA CALLS FOR FAIR PLAY IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

By Hastings Wadza Kasonga Jr

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach, Kalisto Pasuwa, has demanded for fair play in African football saying referees should let the best team win on the day and not make decisions in favour of other teams.

Pasuwa said this after his team bowed out of the CAF Champions League following a 2-0 defeat over Red Arrows at the Heroes Stadium in Lusaka Zambia on Saturday afternoon.

He said the referee failed to award his team similar fouls that he awarded Red Arrows in the match.

He said: "Definitely we now down of the Champions League but again I thought maybe a times we need to have fair play when we are playing football. We played Red Arrows who were playing attacking Football in the first half but we contained them."

"We thought also we had some fouls that could have been in our advantage but we were not given then the same thing happened to us they were given and the game is decided by something else besides

Football which does not go well in our African football in the Champions League."

Arrows captain, Saddam Phiri scored from the spot on 65th minute after Ricky Banda went down without any contact into the box before Peter Katema tapping in with four minutes to go to seal the win.

The Zambian Champions will play TP Mazembe, which has Patrick Mwaungulu and Lanjesi Nkhoma, in the second round of the Preliminary games in the tournament.
