Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has sent a cryptic message regarding the match officiating in the Betway Premiership following his side’s 4-1 victory over Durban City in Rustenburg on Saturday.
The result saw Sundowns go back to the top of the standings with 26 points in 10 matches, a point ahead of second placed Orlando Pirates who defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the Soweto derby earlier in the day. Pirates have however played a game less.

In both matches, there were questionable decisions by the respective match officials which Cardoso hopes football fans will note were mostly one-sided.
“Look, I have to confess that I didn’t see today’s [Saturday] match in the afternoon,” said Cardoso in the post-match press conference carried on PrimeSportsWithMahlatseTV.
“I just saw the incidents, and I think everybody saw the incidents, one night, one day again to remember for South Africa.
“I just want people to see what happened today [Saturday] here as the penalties that we had that were not conceded, and what happened today [Saturday] because the mistakes they look that they always fall for the same side. It’s just a matter of bad luck for sure.
“For us, we have to play every match concentrating on what we control, and what we control is our performance. We try to avoid problems with the referees. We try not to speak with the referees.
“We have to make our job, think about football, play best as we can, and that’s the attitude that this team has to have.”
