We went into halftime and made some adjustments, tactical adjustments and they understood it. So, I don\u2019t want to blame them for this first half.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ouaddou and his charges have since turned their attention to the December 6 Carling Knockout final showdown against Marumo Gallants at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Durban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe finished well and I have to check the log, but I think it\u2019s good for our fans, our club. Now I want to focus on the final. &#8220;I will congratulate them. I will shake their hands but tonight my focus is on the final,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Moroccan tactician will be looking to complete a cup double, having
