Ramoreboli was standing in for Helman Mkhalele, who had to enter isolation along with goalkeeper coach Lucky Shiburi as precuationary measure as they await their Covid-19 test results.
Swallows attacker Kagiso Malinga came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 67th minute.
Bafana had the overwhelming share of the possession, but failed to create many clear-cut opportunities. And while admitted his side lacked penetration, he was happy with the overall performance.
"I want to congratulate the boys. I think they tried their level best to execute the plan as we wanted. Yes, we never got too many entries into the final third, especially in the first half," Ramoreboli told SuperSport TV.
"I think second half we managed to correct a few things. We did not want to lose too many balls because we knew that they would win many aerial balls. So we had to keep the ball on the ground and we got it right.
"Even though there were few mistakes, we could not get enough entries into the final third. Because Sibanyoni could not connect well with Pitso and Brooks. In the second half we managed to create a few chances. We did our best, especially in the second half.
When asked what inspired the technical staff to bring on Malinga, he responded:
"Looking at our bench, we only had three players. We made a very thorough analysis before the game. We knew that Malinga has been scoring a lot of goals for Swallows off the bench. Obviously when you have him on the bench bring him on and he will give you something. He did that exactly today. These are some of the players who showed signs of maturity.
"We needed to start well. To start well was not enough. We had to also play good football. I think we played an entertaining game. we wanted to play forward as quickly as we could.
"It's now about preparing for the next match and staying humble, try to work harder and make sure we get a positive result for the next match."
