The winger deservedly won the Man of the Match award after the game for changing the game in Pirates favour after the sides were locked at 0-0 in regulation time.
“I want to thank God and the coaches for allowing me to showcase my talent. The coach [Abdeslam Ouaddou] told me to remain focused, and I’m really happy that I managed to help my team to win,” said Moremi after the game.
“I don’t have much to say. Before I came on, the coach told me that there’s space behind the Stellenbosch defenders, and that’s why I was able to score the two goals.”
Moremi also praised his teammate Oswin Appollis for his impact in the game. Appollis came on for Sipho Mbule after the hour mark. “That boy [Oswin Appollis] is going far, and what I can say we’re still doing to make our fans happy, the best is yet to come,” added Moremi.
