“Even before the injury we noticed that it was difficult to control [Ashley] Du Preez. [He is] so fast, he has the capacity to repeat sprints, I don’t know, it’s something amazing.

“I don’t know, Deon [Hotto] can do it as well. We managed to do it with Deon, then Du Preez changed sides again.

“In the end it’s a tactical game. Every time we try to do the best decisions for the collective.

“Usually, when you win you were right, when you lose you were not. So, in this case, I think it’s about them, what they do on the field.

“The way they fight, it’s something to put it in value.

“It’s his cup [Sandile Mthethwa], he scored the winning goal in the previous round against Dondol. Today, again, a crucial goal.

“So, it looks like it is his cup, it was written before and I’m so happy for the guy, one more time, because he is working very, very well.” He added.

The Buccaneers will take on Sekhukhune United in the final. Jose Riveiro Says Nedbank Cup Belongs to Sandile Mthethwa!
