He lauded them for making Gold Stars pay for the mistakes they made during the game.

Gold Stars is a very good side, a tactically drilled side especially in the middle of the park and scoring 5-0 it tells the workrate the players put into the game that is the determination, discipline and confidence with which they approached this game."
