"Positive result over the weekend and the win was very important. So, this morning at training the mood was very good and you can see already how the players are responding with a positive mind-set leading up to the game on the weekend. I think it's important for the teams to enjoy the moment…you managed to get yourselves to the final and you're playing against a very good team in Mamelodi Sundowns who are definite favourites and we go in as the underdogs and that's a good position to be in, in my opinion, to be the underdogs. We will work extremely hard during the week in terms of our preparation and our planning and I'm pretty confident that the boys will want to go out there and put on a good performance come Saturday," said Tinkler, speaking to journalists.
