Cape Town City coach Benni McCarthy swore on live TV in his post-match interview while criticising the refereeing during their 1-0 defeat to AmaZulu on Saturday. 

The 41-year-old coach was left a frustrated man on Saturday and was caught swearing during his post-match interview after the match officials failed to protect his player following a dangerous challenge on Craig Martin.

A missed penalty from Kermit Erasmus in the first half and a free kick by Tapelo Nyongo in the second half helped Usuthu secure a narrow 1-0 victory over the Citizens.

The defeat sees City dropped down to fourth place on the Absa Premiership standings with 30 points after 19 games, while AmaZulu move further away from the drop-zone and into 11th place with 23 points after 20 matches.
