The South Africa Football Association president, Danny Jordan has described the Ghana Football Association as immature and inexperienced to school them on football.

In an interview with Robert Marawa, a South African Sports Journalist, Danny Jordaan was furious with Ghana's reaction to their complaint to FIFA.

“You cannot be schooled by a primary school teacher when you are a university professor. We have organized a World Cup. It was voted the best ever World Cup on the African continent. We cannot be schooled by people who are just in their first year in administration and so we kept quiet," he said.

The two federations have been at each other's through since the game played at the Cape Coast stadium on November 14, 2021.

South Africa sent their complaint just a day after the match with Ghana responding after FIFA requested for a reply.

FIFA is expected to make a decision on the match before the draw for the play-offs.

Ghana finished top of Group G and are joined by nine others countries for the final stage of the qualifiers.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, South Africa Football Association President, Danny Jordaan, has said that Ghana did all they can to beat the Bafana Bafana to cover up their socio-economic problems.

According to Mr Jordaan, there would have been serious economic implication for the West African nation if Ghana had lost.

In a press conference on Wednesday by the South Africa Football Association, the SAFA head spilled out his country's frustrations of the referee's performance and thinks the game was fixed.
