“It’s a home game, it’s a different approach.” Truter told SuperSport TV.
“I’m not sure about the results. I’m not sure what the score was between SuperSport and Chiefs, so SuperSport will have to win if they want to go to the [CAF] Champions League, if they have something to play for as well.
“So, I think the last week of the DSTV Premiership, there’s still everything to play for.
Truter went on to explain his disappointment in how they conceded the first goal on Saturday afternoon.
“[Philani] Zulu was, I wouldn’t say reprimanded, but a little bit distraught at halftime. I mean there’s not a person, there’s not a football person in South Africa that doesn’t know [Monnapule] Saleng is a left footer.
“And you gave him the inside and he got one chance, flew in and on target. It’s what we expected and worked on it and one lapse of concentration then they got the goal.
“We knew set plays they would concede, we worked on it extensively, but for us, we contained them. Once you control the opponent without the ball [then] half the job is done.
“Yes, we couldn’t get out, on the transition, as we wanted to, but its things to work on. But its sets us up for a nice final.” He spoke.
Babina Noko will face Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final in two weeks. Sekhukhune United to Play Part in CAF Champions League Qualification!
