"If you recalled the match that Castillo got injured? I spoke about the match officials, all the people, and the media. They claimed I'm aggressive with the referee," the Tunisian mentor said after the match.

"I respect the match officials because there's no football without them. I still talk to referees, but today, Oops. On television, I spoke to the PSL to please analyse our situation."

Nabi also claimed that his team was denied a two clear penalty calls and believes Polokwane City player who badly tackled Bradley Cross should've been sent off.

"We should have had two penalties calls in the match, and I think Bradley Cross is out after the bad tackle, and there was no red card (for Polokwane player who made the tackle). It is unfair to us," he added.

"If my team lose a game, I want to lose because I'm bad, and that's football, but I don't like to lose like that. I don't like to lose because of the referees. I don't like it, and it is not the first time.
