A brilliant brace from Thulani Gumede inspired Richards Bay as they overcame Polokwane City, 3-2 in Durban on Saturday evening.
The win takes the Natal Rich Boys into the round of 16 in the cup competition, with Gumede's goals in the 34th and 71st minute proving to be instrumental.
During his post-match interview with SuperSport TV's Phumlani Msibi, a group of Richards Bay players behind coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi were creasing up, in anticipation for Gumede to speak.
"They're just messing with me," admits Gumede to Msibi in isiZulu, adding that his teammates want to hear him answer the questions in English.
