"The attitude and the hunger has increased from the players. They wanted it so much, we know our situation, we don't have any room for a draw or a loss at this moment," Vilakazi told SuperSport
"If you want to find a team in a safe space we have to work very hard and I'm very impressed today with the hard work that they put in. In the first half we didn't have a great game but we kept a clean sheet which was very important for us,
"And second half we had to come out with a counter-attack and try to get something. We were fortunate enough when we got a corner-kick and we managed to score a goal.
"I even introduced (Thabani) Dube because I thought they would come at us, let's reinforce our defence but only to find out that we still had opportunities. We came out, Justice (Figuareido) I think came out two times.
"So I think the focus today was just top class. We showed in the field of play that we wanted it so much, so bad and I think they worked for it and they deserved it."
