Lehlohonolo Seema hails Tebogo Potsane strike as season changer for Siwelele FC

A solitary goal from winger Tebogo Potsane handed the Bloemfontein outfit a 1-0 triumph on Sunday - their first home victory since the opening weekend of the campaign.

The result came at a critical time for Siwelele, who have endured an inconsistent run of form and mounting pressure on the technical bench.

"The vibe and the mood is much better. We needed to turn a corner because it was starting to become too much for the players. It is a process; this team is still developing, but wins like this go a long way," he told SABC Sport.

The coach admitted the match was far from a spectacle but praised his players for grinding out the result.

"We are not cooking, we are watering. When you don't play at your best, but you win, and the fans are happy, so for us that is a big positive. If we can fight like this at home, and fight even harder away from home, then we should have a good season."

Seema further underlined that Siwelele's primary objective is not to outdo rivals but to ensure survival in the top flight. The Gallants win lifted the club clear of the relegation zone, though the coach stressed that continued unity and hard work will be essential to stay on course.

Siwelele are now in 12th place on the league standings with seven points from nine matches.
