There was an ugly ending to the game after Nabi received a red card straight after the final whistle after he approached Kwinda on the pitch and was seen lashing out in the match official's ear.
According to Amakhosi assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef, who had to conduct the post-match press conference, the former FAR Rabat coach was angry at Kwinda for not adding more stoppage time, with his side having gained momentum, desperate for the equaliser.
"Normally what we know in football, when you make a substitution, it's 30 seconds. I give you a question, how many substitutions did we make in the second half? You don't know," Ben Youssef explained to journalists after the game at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
"They made five substitutions and we made three substitutions, so if you count, how many times like that?
"The issue with the red card, he said to the referee how we made substitutions, with their strategy, you know their strategy, they try to win the time. Every challenge, they go down, and you give only three minutes?

"It was a minimum of five minutes you had to do. We played 12 games now, always five minutes and more than five minutes for extra-time and if you give (only) three minutes and you allow and give them time to win the time, you don't give yellow cards," he continued.
"We feel that he tried to help the opponent. I know it's not a good situation for us, but I don't want to talk about the referee."
