Swallows’ Andile Jali Sent Off for Dangerous Tackle on Former Sundowns Teammate

• Andile Jali was sent off within the first 10 minutes of his return to face Mamelodi Sundowns
• Jali was released by Sundowns at the end of last season after he transgressed the club's policy
• The referee showed Jali a straight red card for his dangerous tackle on a former teammate

Andile Jali did not have a happy reunion with his former side Mamelodi Sundowns.

The former Masandawana captain came up against his former side in the first quarter-final of the MTN 8.

With Jali being released by the Brazilians at the end of last season for transgressing club policy, some expected him to have a bit of bad blood toward his former side.

No one expected it to take just six minutes before he was sent off. Jali was shown a straight red after he committed a nasty foul on Teboho Mokoena.

Jali went in studs first and caught Mokoena on the ankle, leaving the referee no choice but to send him off.

His rash tackle against a former teammate has drawn a lot of criticism and comment on social media.

Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Andile Jali is set to become a free agent in the coming days, ending a five-year journey with the side, Sports Brief reported.

Despite being a stalwart of the side since joining, Jali earned his way into the bad books of the club by transgressing club policy.

It is alleged that he arrived at training under the influence of alcohol.
