Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has questioned the match officials after Aubrey Modiba was sent off in the closing stages.
The Brazilians returned to winning ways in the DStv Premiership after Peter Shalulile's late strike secured a slender win over Chippa United.
The Sundowns tactician has explained the incident that led to Aubrey Modiba receiving a second yellow card in the closing stages.
"To be honest the Modiba yellow card was uncalled for, because the fourth official was having one of those substitutions boards for too long," Mngqith told SuperSport after the game.
"And we're saying we want to make a substitution and he's still sitting with those two boards and he's not making a substitution.
"And then Aubrey makes the mistake of holding the ball and when Aubrey holds the ball now, he's stopping the game to continue and that was unnecessary."
"But the truth of the matter is the fourth official had the substitutions papers very early and we've been waiting for a stoppage, we got a stoppage.
"Now when we got that stoppage he's still there busy with the boards and that is what we were complaining about."
