Orlando Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic believes that football is not about dominating the match, it’s the results that matter.

The Buccaneers were forced to share the spoils with Amakhosi after playing out to a goalless draw during their Soweto derby encounter on Saturday afternoon.

Despite the Buccaneers’ dominance throughout the match, Sredojevic believes that his side lacked the ability to convert the chances they created in the final third.

‘From the start, I believe we dominated. In the second half we made changes in order to go for the killer. It is impossible for a game of this magnitude to dominate from start to finish,’ Sredojevic told SuperSport TV after the game.

‘We had fallen down because we had only one day’s rest after our match [in midweek]. In the end a very good game for the audience, for the supporters. It’s like a cane without sugar in the end. The goals were the only thing missing, we tried our best, but unfortunately, it was not supposed to be.

‘We played with [Thamsanqa] Gabuza in the second half with more aerial presence and [Bernard] Morrison and later [Thembinkosi] Lorch.

‘Domination was on our side, but football is not about dominating, the result is what matters.’
