In controversial fashion, some fans on social media named a match official from Kaizer Chief's 2-2 stalemate with AmaZulu an Amakhosi supporter. Did you see the reactions?
Despite being 2-0 winners in the tie earlier this week, rival fans felt that efforts from Usuthu's Ovidy Karuru and Bongi Ntuli were unfairly ruled offside by a linesman.

Taking to social media, Twitter "investigators" somehow came to the conclusion that the abovementioned linesman is an Amakhosi supporter and based their argument on an image of a fan looking strikingly similar to the official.

However, it has since been revealed that the Chiefs fan in the image is, in fact, not the linesman from the match, which was proved by the actual person's Twitter activity during the game.
Upon further searching, the devout Chiefs fan was actually tweeting during fixture!
