Mbatha admitted that it won’t help them by performing well against big teams like Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs only to lose to teams they are fighting relegation with.
“But if we can show the same performance we did against Pirates, I believe we will win more matches. The way we played showed that we wanted to win and the way we defended showed that we were hungry for three points. The 36-year-old was impressive playing as a false nine, something that caught the Buccaneers by surprise. He created an assist for the only goal scored by Lefa Hlongwane in the first half and admitted that playing in that position confused the Soweto giants.
“They were prepared to face Kwem. They didn’t know who they were going to close down as he started on the bench. That was a brilliant move from the coach.”
