City's European hopes are hanging by a thread after failing to claim a much-needed three points at the Etihad Stadium.
Siem De Jong had given the Dutch outfit a shock 2-0 lead, but goals from Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero gave the Premier League champions a share of the spoils.
And Zabaleta believes the Citizens did well to get themselves back into the game.
"One of the positive points was that the team showed a very good spirit. It is not easy," he said.
"At the start of the game we conceded two goals and the team did well. We showed spirit, tried to get back."
"It was really important for us to get three points and we went to the referee to see why.
Zabaleta added: "I think when the manager can see you drop two points in a crucial game in the Champions League - he is very passionate.
"We were a bit frustrated and disappointed by the referee's decision but at the end you can do nothing. Now we need to win the next game."
