“What defines the outcome is the one that comes with a lot of momentum, hunger and determination to win. I always believe that the CAF Champions League is a game of goals and not conceding,” Kekana told CAF website. 

“It is very fragile when it comes to that, you have to be very structured because you playing against teams that are well structured and know how to play.

“ It is a two-legged final so you have to be cautious but at the same time try to score so it is a very tricky match.

“Biggest advantage is that we have been in the competition for some time and were in the final last year so I believe we stand a very good chance. 

“Our players are national team players and experienced in playing on the continent. I believe it puts them at an advantage, and they just need to continue playing like they have been against the big teams such as Al Ahly and Wydad.”
