Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou believes that if they maintain the same level of performance, positive results will follow as the Betway Premiership season continues.

The Buccaneers were forced to share the points with Siwelele after playing out to a 1-1 draw at the Orlando Stadium, Soweto.

The result saw Pirates move one point clear of Mamelodi Sundowns at the top of the Betway Premiership standings on 48 points after 21 matches.

Abdeslam Ouaddou praised the performance of Orlando Pirates despite their draw, highlighting the team’s dominance and ability to create chances throughout the match.

“We did the game we wanted to do, we had the control, we played high in the last third of the opponent most of the time, we created so many chances, so the most difficult is to create the chances, which we did,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV after the game.

“I think the opponent used one mistake we had in the beginning and they scored, and after, the rest of the game we were dominant, but it doesn’t mean winning the game. I have nothing to reproach the boys, they had a good game.

“We knew it would be very difficult against Siwelele, we have to congratulate them for their match, they took two points unfortunately. Everyone saw the boys wanted to win this game but I’m not worried.

“If we keep playing like that until the end of the season, many things can happen, so we have to believe until the end.”
