Pirates coach unhappy with second half display against Stellies

"I think we have to improve in that if we want to go higher," said Ouaddou. Despite securing their first victory of the season, Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou was not pleased with his team's performance in the second half in the match against Stellenbosch FC. A first half stunner by Kamogelo Sebelebele was enough to hand the Buccaneers a 1-0 win over Stellies in a Betway Premiership clash at the Orlando Stadium on Wednesday night.

'Of course, I'm delighted. I'm delighted for the fans because I have a thought for them because they were waiting for these three points for two-three weeks now so I have thought first of all for them,' Ouaddou told SuperSport TV. 'I would like to congratulate my boys because they have got the character as well. We had a very interesting first half, we created top chances, we could have killed the game earlier.' 'We lost control of the game' Despite the win, Ouaddou was not happy that his Pirates team lost control of the game in the second half and almost allowed Stellies back to it. 'In the second half, I think we lost the control and I think we have to improve in that if we want to go higher. We cannot accept to lose control of a game that we controlled since the beginning,' added the Moroccan. 'Look, because I'm looking for positional game, I'm looking for space between the lines, but modern football has to balance the opponent. 'Sometimes you need to identify the free space and they did it well. We have to diversify our style of play not only that, but it was interesting today.'

Kaizer Chiefs introduce new jersey No.11!

Kaizer Chiefs have announced that the jersey No.11 will be donned by new signing Luke Baartman this season. Over the past two seasons, this jersey number was used by Tebogo Potsane after he was signed from Royal AM. However, it became vacant when Chiefs and Potsane went separate ways at the end of last term. Now, having officially been unveiled and presented in front of Amakhosi fans on Tuesday, Baartman has finally gotten his hands on the jersey No.11. This jersey number has significant history, especially to those who loved and supported Chiefs from way back. The likes of Teenage Dladla, Shakes Kungoane, Jabu 'Pule' Mahlangu, Scara Ngobese and Abia Nale gave the jersey No.11 at Chiefs some dignity. Baartman is the latest to be handed a jersey number by Chiefs after Etiosa Ighodaro (50) and Asanele Velebayi (17). Jabu Pule during his playing days at Kaizer Chiefs wore No.11. image via Instagram @jabumahlangu12 Let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211 Subscribe to The South African website's newsletters and follow us on WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Bluesky for the latest news.

Peter Shalulile finally equals Siyabonga Nomvethe's PSL record!

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has finally equalled Siyabonga Nomvethe's long-standing PSL record. On Wednesday, Shalulile netted his 129th goal since plying his trade in South Africa as Sundowns beat Magesi FC 2-0. This means the Namibia international is now a goal away from setting a new record for most goals scored by a single player in the PSL era. What's interesting is that Shalulile achieved this feat with fewer competitive games played compared to Nomvethe. The 31-year-old scored 27 goals for the Highlands Park before moving to Sundowns in 2020 and scoring 102 goals in 208 matches for them. Rumours of Shalulile possibly leaving Sundowns for greener pastures continue to hog media headlines. Former Kaizer Chiefs legend Siyabonga Nomvethe blasts local hitmen and praises Mamelodi Sundowns star.
