Cardoso takes another swipe at PSL referees after City win

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has once again criticized the quality of refereeing in the PSL following his team's 4-1 victory over Durban City. The Brazilians claimed the top spot in the Betway Premiership standings with a dominant win at Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Saturday. Thabang Matuludi scored a brace for Sundowns, while Iqraam Rayners and Antonio van Wyk also found the net.

Jean Lwamba scored the only goal for City. Sundowns entered the match knowing a draw or win would secure top spot after Orlando Pirates briefly topped the table after their Soweto Derby victory over Kaizer Chiefs. The result puts Cardoso's team at 26 points from 10 matches, one point ahead of Pirates, who have a game in hand. Cardoso focused on the controversial officiating decisions during the Soweto Derby and the penalties that went unnoticed.

He stated he hopes South Africans will see the injustices in today's match and the consistent mistakes favoring one side. Cardoso emphasized that his team's focus must remain on their performance, as they have no control over referee decisions. He praised the team's attitude and compactness after halftime, which allowed them to capitalize on the opportunities City provided.
