Do you think the penalty which was awarded to Sundowns was a mistake ? A lot of people say that it was not a penalty but since we have no VAR sundowns benefited .
“You can’t control everything, you’re up against the crowd, you’re up against a good team and you’re up against decisions that don’t go your way,” Barker told SuperSport TV.
“Firstly it’s a free-kick, he’s holding the ball between his legs, it’s not a penalty, I’ve been informed. Then we have a penalty, it doesn’t get given, it doesn’t get reshown, so what are you up against? Unbelievable performance from our team tonight! Unbelievable!
“Their hearts and everything, the way we played tonight, I cannot be more prouder. I want to know the same club that say other clubs get decisions, what do they say now? What do they say? Yep!
“11 v 11 we went toe-to-toe, there was no difference between them and us, I thought we were even a better team. So obviously if you get a soft penalty given against you and you get a red-card it makes it tough.
“But again I must reiterate, the performance of the players, the heart they’ve shown, the commitment towards the cause was fantastic tonight. So ja, we move on, we fight on but if we play like this I can’t ask for more.
“Marc van Heerden gets a yellow card but what happened before that, it’s a free-kick for us against Junior Awono, free-kick doesn’t get given, frustration leads, we get a booking. I’m very frustrated tonight but frustrated with what happened here but not frustrated with my team.”
