Victory for Hunt over Chiefs was like revenge
“We all know how I left; it wasn’t nice,” Hunt was quoted by TimesLive. “The semifinal of the Champions League — but that’s gone now.”
The former Bidvest Wits coach pointed out that he helped the Glamour Boys reach their first-ever Champions League semi-final but was fired before the semi-final was played.
Chiefs went on to lose the final 3-1 to Ah Ahly
“Any victory in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) is a good victory, but for us — in our situation, where we are trying to fight for second — it was pretty much like a cup final.
“I didn’t want to make it like that, but I thought it was a cup final because I knew if they won, they’d be one point behind us, and if we beat them, then it’s all over,” Hunt said.
