Duba scored all three goals at FNB Stadium, sending Amakhosi into the quarter-finals. SABC Sport reports that the striker has six goals in seven appearances across competitions this season.
Da Cruz’s assessment went beyond the hat-trick. He highlighted Duba’s ability to drop into deeper positions and make runs behind defenders, while urging him to keep working and listening to his coaches.
The message makes national-team recognition a target rather than an entitlement. A standout performance can attract attention; repeating it is the next challenge.
With the Soweto derby approaching, Duba has another opportunity to demonstrate that his influence can extend beyond one memorable cup night.
