Abha Football Club coach Pitso Mosimane celebrated the players by giving a detailed analysis of the game.

Pitso credited Teboho Mokoena, Hugo Broos and Helman Mkhalele, lauding the fellows' stellar display of team spirit.

"Tebogo Mokoena! What a player. The free kick he scored was just the icing on the cake! He stepped on every grass leaf on the pitch. Bossing the midfield. There are no arguments; SA is one of the most tactically disciplined teams in the tournament. No frills, just grinding."

Pitso further went on to say:

"Credit to Hugo Broos and Helman Mkhalele. Their team works very hard and is tactically disciplined. One step at a time, we still have a road to travel, feet on the ground, but we can celebrate these hard-earned victories."
