The story
As the dust settles after an entertaining weekend of club football, Kaizer Chiefs' Nasreddine Nabi and Fenerbahçe's Jose Mourinho found parallel ways to protest a referee's decision.
Nasreddine Nabi suffered his first defeat at the helm of Amakhosi after a 2-1 defeat at Home to table-toppers, Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.
Downs' winner came curtesy of Bafana Bafana striker Iqraam Rayners, a goal that came under scrutiny due to a potential offside for Lucas Ribeiro, who scored the equaliser and assisted Rayners' winner.
The assistant referee deemed Ribeiro onside before he crossed to Rayners, much to the dismay of the Chiefs bench who protested the close call by showing referee Sikhumbuzo Gasa how the Brazilian was offside, using a tablet.

Fenerbahçe boss José Mourinho received a yellow card on Sunday after he protested a VAR decision that disallowed an Edin Dzeko goal.
Mourinho protested the call by placing a laptop in front of a TV camera to display a freeze frame of a passage of play prior to the disallowed goal, in an effort to show the offside decision was incorrect.
