Dondol Stars head coach Vincent Rammoni has revealed the secret behind his side's shock cup upset over SuperSport United in the Nedbank Cup on Wednesday.
The Gauteng-based ABC Motsepe League outfit caused one of the major upsets in the Nedbank Cup with a 2-1 win at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.

SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt made a shock selection that seemed to backfire by playing striker Thamsanqa Gabuza as a make-shift centre-back.
"Seeing Gabuza as a centre-back today, we didn't actually target Gabuza or anybody specific," Rammoni said post-match.
"One thing we knew is that SuperSport use defenders that are very slow in reaction.
"So the aim was that we need to make as many forward runs as possible on the outside and even in between the defenders.
"Through the right back, right centre-back or be it the left-back and left centre-back channels.
"That was the aim to always turn their defence but before we could turn their defence the emphasis was to build from deeper in our half.
"Let's soak up the pressure to try to draw them in so that they can look for the ball.
"When they try to bring their defensive line higher it would create enough space behind their defence.
"So that was the plan and not that Gabuza was there."
