Hlatshwayo didn't have the best of games on 2 January, making many unnecessary fouls, one of which led to Mandela's goal. The South African reported that Khanye said Hlatshwayo "cannot improve at the age of 30." Goal added that Khanye had this to say about Hlatshwayo:

"Probably, his contract with Pirates states that he must be the captain, for what? I don't understand. I know that he is not comfortable with the ball at his feet."
