Foster managed to score the game's only goal in the first half and also scooped up the Man of the Match accolade for his display.
"The coach asked me to play lower, he asked me to drop deep. He asked me to play as a number ten to sit a bit deeper as a midfielder, it was a role that enjoyed.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity and most importantly I'm happy that we got the result. I think it was very important for us and our trajectory," he said.
The former Orlando Pirates striker did admit it was disappointing that there were Congolese supporters at Orlando Stadium.
"Grateful for the fans that came out today, hopefully we can have more.
"It was a home game for us and the away team dominated and that's not nice for us players but hopefully with these performances we can keep convincing people to come and support us because I think we're doing well," he said.
Foster will return to England this week and he hopes to continue his scoring run after find the back of the net in his last two games.
"God willing yes, I'm hoping to score more goals, going back there to fight, a tough few games coming up, ready, I have to stay focused and go again," he added.
