The win sees Pirates moved joint top of the log with Mamelodi Sundowns with 25 points, while Chippa remain at the foot of the table with seven points.

“Of course, happy when you see the physiognomy of the match it was not easy. I think we played against a very good team of Chippa, very well organised tactically, Ouaddou told SuperSport TV after the game.

“They put us in trouble in first half; we couldn’t find the space we wanted to we went into halftime to make some tactical changes to improve a little bit second half.

“I think the guys did well, I have to congratulate them you know to play against a team who are looking for points is never easy even when they are last on the log.

“But again, my players impressed, focus it’s what I like in the game, it’s we were focused 90 minutes. We didn’t concede goals, we came back with the strength, it’s very important for me not to concede goals.”
