AmaZulu head coach Romain Folz was full of praise for his side after reaching the MTN8 final after holding Kaizer Chiefs to a goalless draw.
Usuthu's away goal in the first leg in the 1-1 draw was enough to secure their spot in the final against Orlando Pirates after the 0-0 draw in the second leg on Sunday.

Folz felt the entire team was solid and claimed even they played two more games against Chiefs, they woud not concede.
"I think we faced a good team as I said before, they have the quality in all the departments of the game, so we knew it was not going to be easy," he went on.
"We knew in my opinion two areas we can make a difference, is one of the tactical aspects, whether you're able to fill the gaps in all departments, we filled nicely.
"No matter the broad position, whether you're high, medium or low but whether you're able to adapt and feel safe, whatever happens, that's one thing.
"And the second thing is as I said, coming into the semi-finals like that comes down to who wants it more. So it comes down to what are you capable of bringing in terms of intensity and physical intensity and confidence.
"Not just one but as a unit and if you're able to have that honestly I think we can play three games back-to-back I don't think they'll score against us, in all honesty.
"So it's a very good message, when I first arrived the message I sent to the fans, I told them I cannot promise we're gonna win this and this but the one thing I'm gonna say is we gonna give our best all the time and no one is ever gonna cheat, everyone's gonna give his best all the time.
"So that was the case today, we can still do more, much better but I would say with that mentality and desire to perform together we have a solid base."
