The Buccaneers claimed maximum points against Magesi FC following their 2-0 win courtesy of 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.

Ouaddou has urged his side to be more ruthless in attacking positions and make the most of their chances in the final third.

“The take away is that the team spirit, it’s what we’ve been working on it since the beginning of the season,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV after the game.

“As you can see that the unity and solidarity in the team how we chase together to recover the ball is fantastic.

“The way we kept the ball today, I think it’s something we can build on it but we still need to finish the opponent in the last third and to have this killer instinct in the box, but there’s lot of positive things. I think there’s a big, big hope for our team for the future.”
