Nabi on what he told referee at half-time

According to iDiskiTimes, Nabi disclosed what he told the referee during the half-time break in an interview after the game.

The Tunisian tactician claimed there was offside in the build-up that led to Mamelodi Sundowns' second goal of the game, which ended up winning them the tie at the FNB Stadium.

"We talk to the referee, [saying] the goal is big offside, 2 meters. We go to the [change] room, 'you don't need to give me a gift,' I said to him," he said.

The Kaizer Chiefs manager claimed he doesn't want any gift from the referee rather than him doing his job and following the game's rules.

"I don't need a gift; he needs to respect the rules of the game. You need to respect me; I don't need any help from the referees.
