“They told us it won’t be a penalty and it’s a penalty today and it’s difficult to understand the line from the referee. And the third goal is a clear fist in the face for Porteous (from Haji Wright) but ‘play on’.

“It was a fist, not a hand. I know Ryan Porteous well, really strong, and we saw the clear footage. I can’t understand the linesman who was next to him.”

Asked if he spoke the match officials, he said: “It makes no sense to speak the official. Before every game we have a meeting and then during the game what happens is completely different. I just learn again it makes no sense to discuss.

“Under these circumstances you have to take one point. Overall we are still moving in the right direction and it’s a good feeling.”
