"This is my perception, but I think they (SuperSport) modified the approach in the second half because of the amount of running for Lorch on the right wing in the second half. He was having a good time there, we forced them to defend close to the box and the penalty came because of that. I think we didn't have a single corner kick in the first half and it changed in the second half so the game was totally different in the second half and the contribution of Monnapule and Thembinkosi was crucial and the ones who came from the bench again. How do we measure? Which one is more important? I think when you manage to get a good result and this level of performance during 90 minutes, you can only be proud of the whole squad even the ones who were watching the game there upstairs because they all participate in the game preparation and we are really happy with the level that we showed today," the coach said.
