The Natal Rich Boyz overturned a second-half deficit through goals from Knox Mutizwa, Mbulelo Nombengula and Lundi Mahala to book their place in the semifinals - a stage they have reached before but never progressed beyond.
Gabriel, who shared touchline duties with Papi Zothwane, says this year's group has the hunger and quality to finally break that barrier.
“We've always been at this stage but this year, we want to take it a step further and give the fans something to cheer about,” Gabriel said.
