The coach was full of praise for the players as they navigate a tough schedule with the league and Confederation Cup.

“It’s not me, it’s the players. I think I have to say congratulations to the players we are always outside our house and in camp playing every two days a game,” Youssef told SABC Sport post-match.

“They promised before the game that they will give their all in their legs to win this game. I have to say congratulations to them, to the technical staff, more deserving fitness coach, doctor for the big work they are doing.

“I think it’s not easy to make to manage like that, you see how we finish the game, we were so tired but you know when God is here and you play to win this game, nothing can stop you. Congratulations to them, we are happy for the fans, team and I hope we continue the same.

“As you can see, now we have to finish this game and think about the Nedbank Cup – Stellenbosch after two days, we don’t have time to rest, we have to continue to work, congratulations to the players. I’m so proud of them, congratulations to them,”
