“He scored a very important goal for us, which opened up the game a bit. We are just grateful he is able to recognise his surroundings now and we are very proud of his contribution.”
It’s not clear if De Reuck will be available for Sundowns’ game against Sekhukhune United at Pretoria’s Loftus Stadium on Saturday (3.30pm).
Mokwena was also happy with Sundowns’ positive result, despite fielding a vastly different team. There were eight changes to the starting line-up from their 1-0 league win against Kaizer Chiefs at Soweto’s FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Masandawana have extended their league record of successive wins from 11 to 13. Sphelele Mkhulise was named man of the match against Galaxy.
“It’s a huge compliment to the group. We are a good team with very good players, and we have very good human beings in the change room,” Mokwena said. “It becomes a bit easier when you have good human beings and good football players.
“We have to continue now to try to be better because we have another game on Saturday. Today [Tuesday] was a very good performance from the team. We created so many chances. We should have scored more goals, but congratulations to the players.
“There were a lot of good performers and it was a very good team performance. Of course, if you have a very good team performance, it means you will have some very good standout performers, and that’s what we had on the pitch.”
