“The game is not finished, it’s only half-time,' said Barker.
Steve Barker, head coach of Stellenbosch FC during the CAF Confederation Cup 2024/25 training session at Lentelus Sports Complex in Stellenbosch.
Stellies may be favourites to get the job done in the second leg clash in Durban on Saturday after winning 3-0 away in Eswatini last weekend, but Barker insists there can be no sense of entitlement. Barker was happy with how his charges played in the first leg on Saturday against the “well-coached and well-drilled” Hotspurs side.
“As expected, our opposition is a very well-coached and well-drilled team in terms of their defensive structure, which made it difficult for us to create chances.“The key was to remain patient and keep probing, and then hopefully something would happen. As it was, from good open-play football, we ended up scoring from more of a messy situation.
