Fans React to Goalkeeping Howlers in Betway Premiership
TS Galaxy goalkeeper Sipho Maseti's costly mistakes sparked a flood of reactions across social media, with fans hailing the moment as the 'moemish of the week'.
What happened?
TS Galaxy goalkeeper Sipho Maseti became one of the biggest talking points of the Betway Premiership's opening weekend after a difficult afternoon against Siwelele FC sparked a flood of reactions across social media. Supporters on X, Instagram and TikTok were quick to weigh in following the 22-year-old's costly mistakes during Galaxy's entertaining 2-2 draw at Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.
Why it matters for TS Galaxy FC
Maseti was handed the starting role ahead of Tape Ira, but endured a challenging outing that saw him involved in two decisive moments. The first came just before the half-hour mark. After a spell of hesitant defending from the Rockets, Maseti's attempted clearance struck Siwelele forward Siphesihle Jeza before looping into the back of the net, gifting the hosts the opening goal in unusual fashion.
What comes next?
Despite the setback, TS Galaxy twice fought back to earn a share of the spoils in a match packed with drama. However, Maseti's evening took another unfortunate turn deep into stoppage time when he raced off his line and handled the ball outside the penalty area, leaving the referee with little choice but to issue a straight red card. With Galaxy having already used their substitutions, reserve goalkeeper Tape Ira was hurriedly introduced for the closing moments and immediately justified his arrival by producing a superb save to deny Jordan Marks from long range, preserving a valuable point for the visitors.
TS Galaxy currently sits 7th in the Premier Soccer League, with 1 point from 1 games, recent form D. The team is 2 points behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs. Goals this season: 2 scored, 2 conceded (0 goal difference).
