Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has reaffirmed his side’s determination to fight for the title in the Betway Premiership, insisting the Buccaneers will battle until the very end of the season.

The Sea Robbers managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Richards Bay after Oswin Appollis and Evidence Makgopa found the back of the net at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

Pirates have now reclaimed first place in the Betway Premiership, going level on 41 points with second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns.

Ouaddou has vowed that his players will give everything on the pitch and continue believing in their title ambitions until the final whistle of the campaign.

“Everyone is dreaming to be champions, and we are fighting with wanting to be champions,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV after the game.

“It a passion in the PSL and we are going to fight until the last minute.

“I can promise that we are going to die on the pitch and to believe until the last second.”
