After beating Sekhukhune United 1-0 in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals, and qualifying to face Kaizer Chiefs, Portugal's Miguel Cardoso did not deny the great effort of his outstanding player Jayden Adams after scoring the only goal of the match and leading his team to the semi-finals.

The timing of the goal was amazing, as the player came to the field and scored a goal in stoppage time and gave his team the kiss of life and then sent them to the semi-finals of the tournament, and to make the story more poetic, this is the player's third goal in a row after he scored for Bafana in the last match for them in the qualifiers against Lesotho and against Benin also in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

What did Miguel Cardoso say about the player?

Speaking about the player, Miguel Cardoso said that the former Stellenbosch FC player should not feel a little complacent, especially since there are a lot of players who want to get a chance.

Most of you heard me speaking about Jayden Adams when he arrived at Sundowns. I told him that I think he has to raise his intensity level to play for Sundowns, t’s clear that he has been doing pretty well. He has improved himself naturally. However, we have more players to substitute him. So, he mustn’t feel too comfortable because there are other players who are also pushing strongly.

Cardoso said.

I’m pretty happy with what he has done with the national team. Let’s hope he can continue with that sequence, of course.

Cardoso concluded.
