MTN8 Semifinal Abbubakar Mobara Reaction, Bidvest Wits V Ajax Cape Town, 30 August 2015

MTN8 Semifinal Abbubakar Mobara Reaction, Bidvest Wits V Ajax Cape Town, 30 August 2015

Ajax Cape Town centre back Abbubakar Mobara admits it was no easy task to beat Bidvest Wits 1-0 in a MTN8, second leg semifinal on Sunday afternoon.

A penalty goal from Nathan Paulse handed the Urban Warriors on the day which saw them run out 2-1 aggregate winners over the two legs.

Speaking after the match upon receiving the 'man of the match' award for his sterling defensive performance, Mobara admits it was a tough encounter.

"We knew they were not going to be easy," said Mobara.

"Coming to Wits is always a tough game.

"They beat us in the first league game.

"All we had to do today was work hard and push for everything.

"Sometimes it is a good thing to get the early goal and then sit back in defence, but we played an open game.

"We tried our best to score and we had a few chances to seal the game.

"(Nathan) Pualse was unlucky with some of his chances that he never took."

Ajax are set to lock horns with Kaizer Chiefs in the MTN8 final on 19 September 2015.
