Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena has seemingly accused TS Galaxy head coach Sead Ramovic of inciting a revenge tackle on Bongani Zungu after their 3-0 win.
With victory almost certain for Sundowns in the DStv Premiership after a brace by Peter Shalulile and a goal by Thembinkosi Lorch, the Rockets were reduced to ten men in the last five minutes after Orebotse Mongae was red-carded for a tackle on Zungu.
Zungu did not return, as he limped off the pitch and Mokwena alleged after the game that Ramovic showed his players a clip of Zungu tackle that almost ended Bernard Parker's career last year and incited them to get revenge for Parker on Zungu.

"I'm disappointed with the tackle on Bongani Zungu because I was told already last night that the coach of the opposition (Ramovic) showed that tackle Bongani Zungu made on Bernard Parker and showed it to the players," Mokwena said on SuperSport.
"And said, 'Don't forget what Bongani Zungu did' and I'm very disappointed because you know these things happen and I can say once again to you, I know for a fact Zungu tackle can happen in any other game, anywhere.
"I've seen worse tackles. We've got even Nasir still out injured but we've forgiven and moved on because it's a contact sport and now we go and we intentionally injure players and we send out these things. It's a bit disappointing from a professional level," he said.
"But anyway we do the talking on the pitch and the players said to me, 'Coach, We've seen we've seen what has been going on in the media, don't worry we'll sort it out on the pitch' and I'm very proud of them and I wanna thank them also," he added.
