Following the win, Pitso Mosimane also commented on the third place and confessed this year’s medal is better than last season’s.

“The bronze medal means a lot to us. We didn’t improve our position from last year, but I am happy and the fans are happy. We worked and fought hard”, Mosimane said.

“It was a difficult match for the opponent after the two red cards to their players, but before they were sent off, we were strong and scored a goal when they were complete.

“The positive thing is that we played against all circumstances. We came here with a lot of absences and injuries, such as Mohamed El-Shennawy, Percy Tau, and Akram Tawfik, but we showed a great spirit.

“I am not happy despite winning the bronze medal. I wanted one of a different colour this time, but after all, we made a huge achievement to Al Ahly and Egypt.

“For me, this year’s medal is better than last season’s.”
