"The game was as tough as expected. They are a good team but the credit should to the referee," Mosimane said. "He was brave. He did a good job. I hope he will do the same when the play away. He gave the players yellow cards and I think he did well. The game is changing and the referees are good. "So from that, I think we played well. We didn't start very well but we changed and played our game. You should know that this team doesn't have experience playing in Africa as this was their first game against a big team and they showed character. They did very well and I am happy we won."
