Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has voiced his frustration after Bafana Bafana star Buthasi Aubaas was sent off during his team’s 5-2 victory over Sibanye Golden Stars in the Nedbank Cup last 32 on Saturday evening.
Despite advancing to the next round of the competition, the Portuguese tactician did not mince words in his criticism of the South African midfielder's actions, which he felt had put the team at a disadvantage.
Aubaas received his marching orders after an off-the-ball incident with a Golden Stars player, with 15 minutes left to play.

“That's what made me a little bit unhappy regarding the situation of Aubaas,” he added.
“Because indeed we should not have any disciplinary questions so that we can proceed for the next games with everybody.
“I didn't see what happened so I cannot speak about that, what I know is that he got the red card and he was playing normally, it's not a question of how he was playing.
“We need to manage the emotions, I don't know what happened. So I'll take a look and we'll see.”
Fans react to Aubaas' red card against Golden Stars
maetsebane said:
"Tonight's red card was intentional, Bathusi Aubaas no longer thinks about how his decisions will affect the team, we have Orlando Pirates soon, performance have dropped and he's busy getting red cards, I don't see him coming back."

"Im very disappointed shame, he was starting to pick uo up his form, be the valuable player at Sundowns. Maybe he is big headed but unfortunately he will go to the bench if he carries on like this. He must ask lorch."
bravolli1234 commented:
"No this is bad abo Aubaas they do not respect this badge. I am dissapointed too😭💔."
TMakgatho31777 reacted:
"That incident was uncalled for but there were verbal attacks on Aubaas, even the coach mentioned in his post match conference, these players don't become ill disciplined overnight, there's always an agenda to throw our players off cause they knew they were going to get outplayed."
SEMolekwa shared:
"The coach must sanction Bathusi Aubaas after last night's yellow card. Fine him or subject him to a discipline punishment. He will lose control if he does nothing when players elbow opponents."
