I am happy with the result and team's never-say-die attitude.

"I am very proud of the substitutes; they performed well. Mabena and Mendieta were good, and I am happy with their performances. I seldom mention individuals, but I am happy for Mendieta. He gives me no problems; he fights and has a great attitude.""Mabena will be deadly in the near future. If he can be patient with himself, he will bring something different to South African football. EPL teams will fight for him.

The Bafana skipper said fans should realise the defending league champions' efforts during training rather than their spending habits, which is why they continue to win silverware.
