On their 3-1 win over AmaZulu FC
We’ve been working hard for our second win of the season since beating Orlando Pirates last year. Each and every player in our team knew what was at stake and we were switched on for the entire game. Our performance was on point and if we can continue playing this way, I have no doubt that we will kill a lot of teams in the league. Before this match, we spent more than a month without playing due to the Africa Cup of Nations, so we knew that this game was not going to be easy. But fortunately, we knew how AmaZulu approach matches as far as their players are concerned. We watched a lot of our previous games just to see where we made mistakes, what we could do to beat them and which players could be suitable to play against them. We looked at those things in detail. Funnily enough, during the match we didn’t even press too high – we were in the middle block for most of the game and every danger that came through, we took care of it. We forced them wide because we know how to deal with crosses. We had players who were there to deal with crosses and others, like myself, who dealt with second balls. Fifteen minutes into the game, I scored the first goal and that was a great feeling. We knew that we had a chance of scoring first, but we didn’t know when that would be. Plus, now I know what it feels like to score and I believe that there is more to come later in the season. I just have to take more shots on target. Midway through the first half, (Abbubaker) Mobara scored for them. We didn’t want them to score and when that happened, there was a bit of disappointment. There were a few disappointed faces after conceding that goal. But we were also positive that there were more chances that we could create because the match was wide open. We dealt well with that setback and managed to get back into the match.
