The coach of the winning side, Kenny Boshomane, said they played very well, maintaining their positions by neutralising the ball in the middle of the field.
“After the 1-1 half-time score, we had to make valuable substitutions in the second half, which benefited us at the end because we manged to get two goals and secured a victory,” said Boshomane.
