The Bafana Bafana defender was substituted before the former Kaizer Chiefs star grabbed his second assist of the game while setting up Abrahams for the winning goal.
"It was painful that our top players are the ones who could've maybe saved the situation because I believe Mudau had all the time to close that Chirambadare's cross," the Mamelodi Sundowns manager said.
"But I can't criticise Mudau alone because we also knew that the cross would go to far post, and we had to make sure that we were marking man-to-man, but unfortunately, we were caught."
Sundowns will be back in action in the CAF Champions League against Maniema Union on Tuesday.
