The Glamour Boys' continental ambitions came to a heartbreaking end on Friday evening as the Soweto giants were dumped out of the Confed Cup by Red Arrows. While the penalty shootout defeat stung the Amakhosi faithful, much of the post-match talk centered on the unexpected absence of goalkeeper Leaner.

The French coach has come to the defence of his players following their heartbreaking exit from the CAF Confederation Cup. Despite a dominant second-leg display, the Soweto giants were unable to overcome Red Arrows in a tense penalty shootout.
