Chief Executive Officer of the South African Football Association, Tebogo Motlanthe, is hoping the game between Ghana and the Bafana Bafana will be replayed after lodging a complaint against referee Ndiaye Maguette.

According to Tebogo Motlanthe, the game was fixed and his outfit are gathering information to back their case.

Referee Maguette awarded Ghana a 33rd minute penalty, which was converted by Andre Ayew as the Black Stars secured a play-offs spot.

South Africans have been furious with the decision and the CEO, who has seen a game replayed in the past, when Senegal replayed the Bafana Bafana over a fixed game, believes that can be repeated.

"Of course we are looking at the precedent whereby Fifa ordered us to replay Senegal and we think that if justice needs to be served the same decision should be taken against this Ghana game," added Mothlante.

Meanwhile Ghana will know their opponents for next year's play-offs in a draw next month.
