A Tshegofatso Mabasa goal on 75 minutes sealed the result at the Orlando Stadium- this after Abbubaker Mobara was sent off for Usuthu.
Usuthu had played the majority of the game with 10 men after Mobara was sent off after 21 minutes.
They were then down to nine players when Bucs scored, as they had a player down injured on the ground, but instead of kicking the ball out of play, the home side played on.
Having felt his side were on the end of a number of recent injusties, the head coach told SuperSport after the game: “Today, I’m not going to be angry, today I’m going to laugh because this is a never-ending story.
“But it’s a great feeling again to compete against this huge team in this amazing scenario, seeing again how they are celebrating like if they won the World Cup.
“Wasting time, only scoring when they were scoring against nine man. Because there was again lack of gentleman – when one player is on the ground, you’re playing with one man down and not kicking the ball out, but that happened also in the cup game.
“We took the ball out because one of their players was on the ground, they kick the ball for a goal kick and then press from there.
“You know, what are you can expect?”
Martin added that despite the result, he felt his side played well.
“I think we started the game in a great way, we hammer them. I think we had the chances to score, we hit the post, we play great football,” Martin explained.
“Then again one unbelievable action, which is changing the whole game and harming us a lot. But from there, surprisingly we are controlling very well, had many chances, even in the second half until against nine, they took advantage and they score.
“We tried till the end, but this is what we can do when we play against everything and everyone every single day.”
