Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou felt his side should’ve scored more goals in their victory over Magesi FC.

The Buccaneers secured a 2-0 victory over Magesi FC thanks to goals from Yamela Mbuthuma and Relebohile Mofokeng at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

The win sees Pirates move up to back up to second place in the Betway Premiership standings, level on 32 points with log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Magesi, meanwhile, remains at the bottom of the log standings with 11 points from 15 matches played so far this season.

“I’m just happy about the points, the victory was important, in front of our fans for the first game at (renamed) home. I think guys were executed the plan, we wanted to press them to open them very high, not to let them breathe in terms of counter-pressing, not to leave space,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV after the game.

“We achieved it well, in terms of entries in the last third, I think it was top but we need to see the data, but we made a lot of entries, opportunities in that case I think we have to definitely improve in that area because maybe we could’ve scored six goals today.

“Every point, goal will be important at the end of the season that’s why I’m very happy about the boys I have, I congratulate them but I have a little bit a test we could’ve scored a lot more, but let’s keep going, let’s keep going, I think the guys did well.”
