Orlando Pirates striker Tshegoftso Mabasa redeemed himself after missing a penalty earlier in Bucs 2-1 win over Enyimba at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday.
"In CAF you have to win your home games, and I feel like today was our opportunity to do so. We have this never say die attitude, and that's exactly what brought me through it, even after I missed (the penalty).
My head was going down but everyone else around me, they picked me up and they told me, we keep on going because we are going to get this goal, I am just glad that it finally came" admitted the former Bloemfontein Celtic striker.

The 24-year-old has only played 138 minutes (in 9 appearances) for Bucs in all competition this season, scoring twice prior to his winner last against Nigerian side Enyimba, mostly due to an injury ravaged campaign for him and other Pirates strikers.
"This season has been very tough for me, I have battled with a few injuries and I have been out for a while. I feel that I have to make up for the time that I missed, and the only way I can do that is through scoring goals. I am just glad I could get my name back on the scoresheet tonight and we are really happy for the three points".
