Tshegofatso Mabasa believes that a big team like Orlando Pirates deserves to play and compete in the Caf Champions League each and every season. OPINION Pirates Mabasa is staking his Bafana claim
Pirates, who beat Cape Town City 2-0 on Wednesday, are currently third in the DStv Premiership standings.
They are three points behind second-placed Stellenbosch FC, who hammered Golden Arrows 3-0 on the same day, with four games left before the end of the season.
South Africa are allocated two places in the Caf Champions League and one slot has already been filled by runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, so the second slot is up for grabs and the race for it is between the Buccaneers and Stellies.
This is a big team and this team deserves to play and compete in the Caf Champions League each and every season and thats exactly what were aiming for, said Mabasa, who scored a brace in Wednesdays victory over City.
I believe we can achieve that. Well continue to do the business and collect three points wherever we can.
Mabasa critical on chances he misses
Mabasa missed a couple of chances during the win over City and the striker was not happy with his finishing in that match even though he managed to score a brace.
Meanwhile, Pirates will be looking to make it six wins in six games in all competitions when they face Chippa United in a Nedbank Cup semi-final clash at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Saturday.
