The Congolese giants thought they had scored in the 57th minute through Joel Beya, but the goal was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for a handball.
The Mazembe tactician claims the referee was more in favour of the Egyptian giants throughout the second leg.
"We must talk about it; we lost by three goals, which angers me," N'Daiye said after the game, as per KingFut.
"I am frustrated because I know well that we are in Africa; if we want to progress, the referees must be serious and better than that.
"The game was one-sided regarding refereeing, and I know well that we are human and can make mistakes, but I am frustrated, and this affected us and our focus.
"The referee played a negative role in this match, and Al Ahly does not need that," he added.
