"I present my congratulations to my colleague. I'm very sorry for this outing," Nabi said on SuperSport TV after the match.
"Nothing worked for us today from the backline, from the goal to the front.
"We wanted to have a reaction coming into the second half, but the red card that we got at the beginning of the second made it hard to come back, but that's how football is.
"I would like to finish by congratulating Mamelodi Sundowns; they had an amazing day. When someone does something good, we need to accept that."
