‘I want to thank my teammates and the technical team for giving me the opportunity to play. Today, we really worked hard. We needed these three points, we ground out the points,’ Zwane told SuperSport TV after the game.
‘So far so good, but I need to improve my finishing and make the right decisions in the final third.’
