“I do not have the same fears of the match officials being biased as some people have,” Gusau told thenff.com.
“I believe that the grass is always green and that the playing pitch is level. I do not see a situation in which the match officials will be working against any team’s interest.
“Last summer , we were here in Morocco, for the Women Africa Cup of Nations, and we played the host nation in the Final, even coming from two goals behind to achieve victory.
“There is nothing to fear. This is the highest level of football on the African continent, and the officials know that CAF as well as the whole world is watching, and will not do anything untoward.”

This is how they sat down with arms folded while SA made arrangements to play most of their away games at home.
No need to protest because the grass is green, and the playing pitch is level!
