Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou insists that Saturdays goalless draw against Sekhukhune United wasnt a cause for concern, despite its implications for the title race.
Instead, the Buccaneers mentor lauded his troops for the quality football they displayed at Peter Mokaba Stadium. The result means Pirates remain second on the Betway Premiership table, level on points with leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a better goal difference, having played a game more than the Soweto heavyweights.
We started the game with the right intensity that I wanted and was expecting, Ouaddou said. We deserved at least a goal in the first half...it could have helped us to have more space between the lines. It was very difficult to break Sekhukhunes compact block.
