Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has refused to throw in the towel in the title race after dropping two points when they were held to 1-all draw by a stubborn Siwelele side at home on Saturday.
Siwelele struck first via Pirates old boy Vincent Mashonisa Pule, just a minute before the half-hour mark. Tshepang Moremis goal in the 51st minute ensured the Sea Robbers at least walked away with a point, though that dented their title aspirations as they are now only a point behind second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a game in hand.
Even so, Ouaddou is positive that they still stand a chance of winning what would be their maiden league title since the 2011/12 term. The Pirates coach reckoned Siwelele keeper Ricardo Gosss brilliance on the day was a difference, dubbing him Jesus Christ.
