Why it started late

-

A SuperSport TV camera malfunctio­n is believed to be the reason behind the delayed start of the Soweto derby at the FNB Stadium where deadly rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates drew 1-1 on Saturday. The spider camera, which hovers over the stadium to give a birdseye view, malfunctio­ned and the broadcast could not start as scheduled. The match kicked off about five to seven minutes later than the advertised kick-off time of 3.30pm. The Chiefs officials were not happy with the delay, calling it unnecessar­y as they pushed for the match to kick off according to schedule.
