“I almost know what is going to happen next. You have to now break a very stubborn defense of the opponents, which was the case today. But at the same time, many of the equalisers come late. You can not fault the effort that the boys make every time.

“They shocked me when we went to Upington. A goal down but they put up a fight and managed to win the game. This is why we are here, the character that they have developed. You can only be thankful to these boys for saying we keep on going and let’s see until the last match. Maybe this was just nature saying we must all go to the last match. 

Baroka will travel to University of Pretoria for their last match of the season on Sunday 19 May.
