AmaZulu head coach Pablo Franco Martín was not happy with the referees after the defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Lucas Costa Ribeiro converted a penalty in the first half, which guided the Brazilians to a 1-0 win on Wednesday night.
The Usuthu coach felt his side 'beat' Sundowns on the day but the referees had other ideas.

"It's not only about fighting, it's also about playing good football. I think today AmaZulu beat the best team in Africa but four people decided opposite," Martin told SuperSport after the game.
"I don't agree (that the goal was offside), even in the first-half the last 25 minutes, we controlled the game, we created many chandes. They were even wasting time at the end of the first-half and this is the first time I see Sundowns do (this) in PSL this season.
"So I have to be very proud of what we did today. We're getting what we don't deserve due to the decisions (beyond) the control of players and coaches."
Martin also expressed his displeasure with the fixture list after Thembela Sikhakhane was forced off with an injury in the first half, having just recently returned to action.
"PSL decided to play the game today when there were more days to play, we didn't have time to rest, that happened to us before and it's happening again," he went on.
"But they don't care about the health of the players, we have to play. The players are doing their best, they are getting injured. It's a bit heavy for the human being because there are players who support the national team but this is what it is," he added.
