“Although they didn’t have the best of games, what really mattered was the qualification especially since this was their first competitive game at home in almost six months. I believe they have done well and should continue.”

He added “I would like to see them in the group stage for the first time in many years because they have the potential to do so. It is left with only one opponent and two games to achieve that so they need to work hard to make the fans happy just like they did against Sharks.”
