Post Match Comments:
Coach Arthur Zwane - "We've done what we came here for, we kept a clean sheet and we wanted a goal or two. The one is okay. They will open up a bit when they come to play us and we will try and punish them.
We have another 90 minutes, it will be difficult. We were very disciplined and we hope to keep a clean sheet at home as well,".
Goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma - "Everyone gave 100 percent, I’m happy with the result and with the clean sheet. We know it’s not over, it’s only halfway.
We just have to keep going and working hard," following his Man of the Match performance against Wydad.
