TS GALAXY DISMISS CLAIMS THAT TACKLE ON ZUNGU WAS A REVENGE

Mpumalanga side, TS Galaxy has responded to the allegations made by Mamelodi Sundowns Coach, Rulani Mokoena after the match between the two teams. The Brazilians hammered Galaxy 3-0 on Monday, 29 April 2024. However, Sundowns Bongani Zungu got injured after a serious tackle from mongae on the 85^th minute. Zungu got injured and had to be substituted, with Bathusi Aubaas coming in for him. In his post-match interview, Mokoena alleged that the tackle was an order from TS Galaxy to avenge Parker’s injury by Zungu in a match they played on 18 October 2023. Mokoena said the tackle from Mongae was a revenge.

“”I am disappointed with the tackle on Zungu, I’m very disappointed. I was told already last night that the coach of the opposition showed that tackle Zungu did on Parker, He showed it to the players and Said “don’t forget what Bongani Zungu did” and I’m very disappointed” Mokoena said.

TS Galaxy have released a statement responding to the claims.

“TS Galaxy FC takes serious exception to the comments made by @Masandawana coach Rhulani Mokoena, insinuating that our Head Coach instigated the injury suffered by Sundowns player Bongani Zungu during our match last night. Mokoena lied blatantly through his teeth which we deem to be serious embarrassment to our game never mind the Club that he represents. If Mokoena still believes in his own lies, we are now calling him out publicly to prove his claim within 24 hours, failing which our Club and our Coach will assert their rights in law” reads the statement.
