Kimvuidi, meanwhile, completed the full 90 minutes and was thankful to be back on the pitch.
"I want to thank the coach. For a long time I didn't play, but today they gave me a chance because I was pushing at training," Kimvuidi told SuperSport TV.
"Thank you for them and thank you to my teammates because without them I can't make it.
The Congolese midfielder also had a message for the supporters after Tuesday night's win.
"I know they love me, I love them," he added.
"I say thank you to them for the support, even in the bad moments they are supporting me. They make me work hard everyday, so I really appreciate it."
The Soweto outfit will be back in action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup final.
