Adnan Beganovic says TS Galaxy must respond to league thrashing with Nedbank Cup semi-final win

The Rockets face Motsepe Foundation Championship side Milford in their semi-final on Sunday, a day after Durban City and Casric Stars go head-to-head.

While Begovic's side have impressed during their cup run, the club's form in the Betway Premiership has been inconsistent, and they head into the weekend's cup tie on the back of a 6-0 leagu humbling by title-chasing Orlando Pirates.

But with domestic football suspended for the last 10 days for the international break, Begovic said the result came at the right time - to be able to rectify their mistakes before taking on their lower league opponents.

"It's very important, the FIFA break helped us a lot, it was the best time for us after that tough game, it was difficult to explain how we could concede all those goals and how we struggled in that game," said Beganovic on FARPost.

"I think it's one time in two years something like this happened, and you know we tried to rest and recover our players, have individual's meetings, analyse everything that happened in that game – and immediately we want to move on and place attention on recovery on physical and mental recovery.

"We'll be ready for the rest of the games we have left, all the players accept the positive side, we spoke and found reason why something like that happen – and the main point is not to allow something like that to happen again as a professional club, with professional players," he said.
