Goals from Rhulani Manzini and Frédéric Nsabiyumva steered the Chilli Boys to a 2-1 victory over the Brazilians and secured a spot in the last 16.
Larsen was impressed with the display of Tercious Malepe, who scooped up the Man of the Match award. "We knew they were going to push for the winner, they don't want to go to extra time and they were pushing. And with Mark's ability with running with the ball and Ruzaigh's pace we thought we would catch them [on the counter-attack] and it came out that way. We had three very good chances," Larsen told SuperSport after the game. "It's good when these tactics work out. But credit must go to the players, they trained well for the last two weeks and we're seeing them reap the rewards." "Tercious Malepe is growing in confidence. Very underrated player in my opinion, we're still going to see the best of him. But it's all about the collective. We're a work in progress, we'll get there," he said.
