They worked very hard.

They deserve this win. We’ve been working very hard all week for this match. So, I think the win was very hard.

It was very difficult. But I think we managed to get the three points, and we move on,” said Mofokeng. On bagging his first hat-trick, Mofokeng said he was waiting for too long for this achievement.“It’s very special.

I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’ve not been getting these kinds of moments. It’s very important to boost my confidence,” commented Mofokeng.Pirates have been guilty of not converting the many chances they create and coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has often criticised them for that, but on Sunday they got their scoring mojo back.

Mofokeng has revealed why the Buccaneers were so ruthless against Galaxy. “We’ve been training and working on our finishing and composure,” explained the Bafana Bafana attacker.Mofokeng also dedicated the win and the award to the Pirates fans who packed the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.“This is for the fans. This is your team, and we will always do our best for you.”
