“My biggest gripe in the last 10 minutes was that even if it became 4-1, they could get a sniff. So, it was huge to go there [with a clean sheet],” Hunt told reporters after Tuesday training session as per Kickoff.

“I think we’re going to try, if we can score one there then it’s really [one foot in the semifinals], but I mean that’s going to be easier said than done.

“They’ll certainly raise their game, they’re a big club and they’ve got a lot of pride to play for, so I’m sure they’ll come out with a huge, different mentality and everything else that goes with it“, Amakhosi gaffer continues.

“I’ve been there [in Tanzania] before, we played Azam here and when we went there they were a totally different side, it looked like they had 12-13 players [on the pitch].

“So, it will be a totally different game; let’s put this [4-0] to bed, we’ll be working on the training and trying to improve the things we can, that’s all we can do”, Gavin Hunt added.
