AmaZulu head coach Pablo Franco Martin claims Orlando Pirates celebrated 'like they won the World Cup" against his side, who were down to ten men.
The visitors were reduced to ten men after 20 minutes when Abbubaker Mobara was shown a straight red following a tackle on Patrick Maswanganyi.
The Usuthu coach was vocal about the refereeing after the Nedbank Cup exit against Pirates last weekend, but he did not want to talk about the officiating this week.

"Today I'm not going to be angry, I'm going to laugh because it's a never ending story. But it's a great feeling to compete against this team in this amazing scenario," Martin told SuperSport after the game.
"Seeing how they are celebrating like they have won the World Cup, wasting time and only scoring when they were playing against nine men, when one player is on the ground you're playing with one man up, not kicking the ball out but that also happened in the cup game.
"Even when we took the ball out because one of the players was on the ground, they took the ball from our goal-kick and they pressed from there.
"I think we started the game in an amazing way, we hammered them, we had chances to score, we hit the post, we played great football but again one unbelievable action, which changed the whole game and harmed us a lot," the Spanish coach went on.
"But from there surprisingly we're controlling them very well, we got many chances, even in the second-half, until against nine (men), they took the advantage and they scored. We tried until the end but this is what we can do when we're playing against everything and everyone all day."
