You get upsets like this all over the world: Hunt after SuperSport's Dondol shock

Dondol Stars co-coach Vincent Rammoni said Hunt's famously well organised United made them work hard for their famous win.

“It was difficult to play against a Premiership side as an ABC Motsepe League team. We struggled in a lot of aspects, especially defensively. We had to dig deep to match their physical presence in the first half.

“At halftime we spoke to the players, we tweaked certain things with regards to how we played in the first half and we made two immediate substitutions at halftime so that we could bring the ball down and move the defensive line as high as possible.

“This was to force them to play more in their half and that helped us to press in pairs and to link up quickly with our centre-forwards. We started inverting our wingers to be more inside than sitting wide on the lines.

“We went for a V-shape in the second half, and it became much easier to give room to our [overlapping] fullbacks, who had too much space on the side and that’s how we got the first goal.

“Obviously the first goal brought a whole new confidence to the boys, they started to believe and they could see that it is possible and we could reach the target.”

“The second one came at the right time and we knew from there that we should go for it.”
