Henrico Botes and Robert Ng'ambi each fired home at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium this week to give Dikwena the perfect start to 2013, while also cutting the gap on second-placed Kaizer Chiefs to two points.
Next up for Dinaledi is the visit of Ajax Cape Town on Saturday, and although they sit just three points behind leaders Orlando Pirates, Phala is looking to stay grounded as the men from Phokeng look to solidify a top-five finish this term.
"We are very confident. The win against Celtic was very important and a big booster for us. From the start of the season we were aiming for a top five place in the standings," Phala told Backpage Txt.
"Not much has changed from last season, but our goal was to collect as many points at home and challenge them away from home. So far so good for us."
With Stars having been at their most dangerous at home this season, Phala is hoping to gain revenge for their 4-1 defeat to the Urban Warriors in Cape Town in the first-half of the campaign.
"We have been especially strong at home and it is really good to have collected the points there. Now, we just have to continue and move forward from there," he added. "We lost the first leg to Ajax and it is never nice losing twice. They will come here and we will give them a run for their money.
"We will be playing at home and it will be hot for them, which will make it difficult. Hopefully we will get the three points."
