After concluding their Spain preseason tour with a 2-0 win over Granada in their final match at the Marbella Football Centre on Saturday, Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou expressed satisfaction with their overall performance and said they are now looking forward to the new Betway Premiership season.
The Buccaneers netted twice late in the second half through Patrick Maswanganyi and Relebohile Mofokeng to register their first win of the tour and finish in style.
They kicked off their tour with a 2-0 defeat to Bolton Wanderers, followed by a 1-1 draw against Cypriot champions Pafos, and a goalless stalemate against Las Palmas before beating Granada 2-0 on Saturday.
Ouaddou said he never doubted his players.
I had all the time the trust from my players and we tried with my staff to give them confidence, to play, to train well, to give efforts and to stay united, Ouaddou told the club's media department after the match. And step by step, we finished this camp with a victory.
