Chiefs suffered a 3-0 defeat at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday evening but won the tie with a 4-3 aggregate scoreline.
Amakhosi are now through to the last-four of the premier continental competition – yet another first in the club's history, as was the case in the group stage and the last-eight.
Despite guiding the team through this unprecedented run into uncharted territory, both for himself and the Soweto giants, Hunt refused to take any credit and insisted the achievement is for the club.
"Well, it was history just to get into the group, and then... But obviously, ja... It's not for me, it's for the club. It has nothing to do with me, it's only the club," Hunt told Chiefs' media.
"They got a second and third [goal] and obviously made it a little difficult, and then we defended for the last bit of time.
"They're the home team, they obviously were going to throw numbers forward – they left four [strikers] up, and they just played it long in there.
"If you don't win the first and second ball, you've got problems and that was the problem. We couldn't get [the ball] down for various reasons; we kept giving it away, but ja, the most important thing is that we're through - it's a knockout game and we're through."
