"I think that's the player we needed to have on the pitch. Like, I said we played him 70 minutes in Tanzania so today the plan was for him to play 45 minutes and then to give other players a chance to play.
"I think he is a revelation in terms of our tactical play in terms of his intelligence in possession and also how he is helping the team out of possession. I think he will be giving us more balance in the midfield going forward."
Despite ending up on the losing side, Ntseki was pleased that everyone in the match day squad was able to get some minutes.
"I think in terms of playing minutes in terms of the first game- I think we're on the right track because if you look at the first half- the first group of players who played it was more of getting more playing minutes because in Tanzania we gave them less playing minutes.
"So, I think the second batch of players that came in it was more of them getting a top-up."
