Mosimane on the Win, Goalscorers and the Return Leg

Pitso Mosimane, our head coach, was a happy man after we managed to defeat ES Setif 4-0 on Saturday night in the first leg of the CAF Champions League semi-finals. 

Our coach spoke to the media after the game about the team's performance, the goalscorers and the importance of staying focused in the second leg. 

Read on for a full transcript of his post-match press conference.

On the win .. 

"We played well and controlled the game even when it was 11 against 11. You cannot be careless and get a red card in a game like that. ES Setif have a very good coach from Serbia. He’s brave. He didn’t change the tactics even after playing 10 against 11. He played with 3 defenders and 6 players in front."

On the goalscorers .. 

"I’ve known Percy for 20 years and I know when it feels like when a player doesn’t score. It’s not about Percy scoring today, Sherif also scored after ten games. For me, it’s about Taher. He played as a striker tonight and he didn’t score from a while. I’ve got Taher tonight, unfortunately his first goal was offside. Thank God he scored today."

On the second leg .. 

"We have not qualified yet. We still didn’t qualify. I’ve been a coach for 21 years. I’ve seen teams turn a score from 4-0 to 5-4. Our fans trust us, believe in us, support us from first to last minute. They always support us."
