Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane hailed his SuperSport United compatriot Kaitano Tembo after the Zimbabwean  steered his side into the MT8 final at the expense of Amasandawana yesterday.

SuperSport beat Sundowns 2-0 on the night and consequently on aggregate after the goaless draw in the first leg and Mosimane admitted that Tembo masterminded the win.

“[I also want] to congratulate Kaitano [Tembo], his tactics were very good, spot on. Very awkward for us to get what we want. I think what helped them is that they got an early goal, which we did not want at that time. After that it was a difficult game for the last 70 minutes,” he told SuperSport TV after the game.

“We should give credit, they deserve it. I hope Kaitano goes on to win it. He deserves it. He deserves a break, it’s going to be his first one. Why not? Everybody deserves a break, so I hope he gets it [the cup],” he added.
