However, Hunt focused on his young centre-backs, Ime Okon, who is 19 and 20-year-old Bilal Baloyi for their magnificent performance against the Soweto giants.

"We did well, long week, difficult week, small squad, two centre backs, 18, 19-year-olds, fantastic, that's the most important thing, really good performance from everybody," Hunt told SuperSport TV.

There was a scuffle that happened that involved the two sets of players just after the game and Hunt was not pleased with transpired and called it a "disgrace".

"I just don't like what happened at the end, it's disgraceful, disgrace!" Hunt went on.

The former Kaizer Chiefs coach could not elaborate on what happened.

"No I can't tell you, it's a disgrace. Football is round you know, anyway I'm happy for the players, well done, thank you very much," he added.
