Coach Heinrich Loxton revealed what he and assistant coach Michael Martins told their players at halftime to stay strong and focus more on getting goals. “I think our talk worked.
“We knew coming to this game was not going to be easy because the opponents lost their last two games but credit should be given to our boys and goalkeeper for their amazing performance in the second half,” said the coach.
