Golden Arrows head coach Pitso Dladla has addressed the away goal rule confusion between him and striker Sede Junior Dion.
This is when the striker was seen celebrating after they had scored in the 90th minute to bring the pulsating clash to 3-3 on aggregate.

Dion, who also netted on the afternoon, initially thought they were leading 3-2, which meant the tie would be a draw and then head into penalties.
The Ivorian marksman joined in on the celebration of his teammates on the touchline instead of trying to get back into the game which was closing off.
Dladla was also pictured urging his players to get back on the pitch in order to try and get another goal.
“We were anticipating scenarios like this,” he said on SuperSport TV.
“If Sundowns score more than one goal, this means the away goal rule advantage is with them because we only scored one goal.
“So, when I spoke to him [Dion], he did not know the real score of the game. He thought we were leading 3-2.
“And then I said, no, it’s 3-3, meaning that the away goal rule goes to them [Sundowns].”
