It is said that a win is a win; however, afterwards, the UP-Tuks players were honest in their assessment of their on-field performance. Agreeing that they led things to slip somewhat during the second half's play. 

It was a game of two halves. UP-Tuks dominated for the first 45 minutes creating countless scoring opportunities through tactical brilliance. Siphamandla Ntuli and Tobatsi Roets capitalised from it putting the ball into the back of the net to give UP-Tuks a 2-0 lead at halftime. 

But somehow during the second half, the UP-Tuks players seemingly lost focus, allowing UWC to become more confident in the way they played. It led Stefan Stuurman scoring for UWC. Kudos to the UP-Tuks defenders who apart from letting one goal slip through were playing brilliantly.

According to the UP-Tuks head coach, Tlisane Motaung, he has got mixed feelings about his player's performance.

"The positives are that we won and got three valuable points on the log. We not only created goal-scoring opportunities, but we scored two goals. Although personally, I think we should have scored more goals. 

"My biggest concern is the way we played in the second half. We dropped the tempo and were not able to score."

Simbongile Njokwe (UP-Tuks captain) shares his coach's concern. 

"In spite of not playing to the best of our abilities, we got the result we needed, and that was important. 

"To be honest, I was not impressed with our approach to the game. We still missed out on far too many scoring opportunities. We also did not play with the same intensity we did last week against TUT. 

"Next week, when we play against UJ, our challenge need to be to combine our desire to score with consistent good play over 90 minutes." 

According to Giovanni Idi (UP-Tuks goalkeeper), it was exciting to see how the "boys" moved the ball around.

"The we way we want to play is to force the opposition to try and 'hunt' us down on the attack all the time. Unfortunately, we allowed ourselves to be under pressure in the dying minutes.  

The UP-Tuks striker, Nhlanhla Mabaso, who came on as a replacement in the second half perhaps best summarised what lacked last night.

"We need to start and end a game playing with the same tempo and commitment. No team ever has the luxury of losing focus when it is in the lead."

Katlego Motlhatsang (UP-Tuks) was the player of the match.
