Marumo Gallants caretaker coach Raymond Mdaka is hoping their impressive form in the Confederation Cup continues into the DStv Premiership where they are struggling.
Mdaka is the caretaker/assistant coach on the bench while head coach Dylan Kerr watches from the stands while he awaits his work permit.
Gallants almost guaranteed themselves a place in the knockout stages of the Confederation Cup with a hard fought 2-0 win over USM Alger at Dobsonville Stadium on Wednesday.The result left the nomadic team top of Group A on nine points from four matches, with USM second on seven. Democratic Republic of the Congo's St Eloi Lupopo have to win both their remaining matches by a few goals, and Gallants lose their last two, for the South African club not to progress.
“Our boys are happy with the win over USM Alger but they understand what is happening in the league. We will have to work hard and show the same attitude in the league as we have been doing in the Confederation Cup,” Mdaka said.Gallants' goals on Wednesday were scored by Lesiba Nku in the seventh minute and Litsie Koapeng in the 75th.
Mdaka praised the players for earning a strong win at home for the continental rookies against their experienced opponents from Algeria.
