Pitso Mosimane admits that he grew increasingly frustrated with the referee in Mamelodi Sundowns’ 0-0 draw with Highlands Park on Wednesday evening.

The home side were far from their best on the night firing blanks on several occasions, while the Lions of the North did well to combat the danger on the star-studded Masandawana outfit.

Sundowns were forced to play with ten-men for majority of the second-half when defender Ricardo Nascimento was the recipient of a red card in the second half after showing dissent towards referee Phelelani Ndaba.

‘Yes, I’m very much frustrated with the way the game went on,’ Mosimane said in post-match comments.

‘My players did whatever they had to do. I’m not encouraging Ricardo to get a red card. I’m the first one who speaks against it, and that was uncalled for that’s how it is with my players. The other side, I’m not there to talk about it,’ he added.

Jingles questioned the referee’s decision to award Gaston Sirino a yellow card and credited his side for their tactical discipline when they played with ten-men.

‘I was not happy with Sirino’s yellow card. The referee maybe he was right to give it, it’s the rules of the game.

‘But what about the boy not getting anything after going at Denis a minute before that.

‘There’s a difference being tough and robust. We managed that. There’s a difference being tough and tactically disciplined.
