Orlando Pirates attacker Patrick Maswanganyi says he wants to score goals after providing two assists in the win over Stellenbosch FC on Sunday afternoon.
Maswanganyi made a delightful cross to Zakhele Lapasa who scored the equaliser in the second stanza after Stellies, who were a man down following the red-card of Thabo Moloisane, went to the break 1-0 up following a headed goal by Ismael Toure.
The former SuperSport United winger also assisted the winning goal for the Buccaneers, as his cross needed a deft touch from Deon Hotto, who deflected it into the back of the net.

Maswanganyi says he did not have a good first-half but his thanked his teammates for motivating him to make such a come-back in the second stanza.
"Thanks to my players, they always motivate me. I didn't start well in the first-half and we conceded the goal but we managed to come back and I'm very happy that we won away, it gives us a boost going back to Orlando, so very happy with the result," Maswanganyi said on SuperSport TV after receiving his Man of the Match award.
"I think at half-time the coach told us to relax, we're gonna get goals and we're very happy that we managed to follow the instructions and we managed to score two goals away from home, so very happy with the performance," he said.
Maswanganyi went on and said it's easy for him to get his game to another level with the quality players and coaches at the club and promised that he will soon start to score goals himself.
"I think it also comes (down) to the individual, if you're doing well, you always want to do well, I think with the players that we have and the coaches, it's very easy for me to adapt and to do well. So I'm very happy with my performance as well," he said.
"I'm very happy that I'm able to give them assists and playing as a ten I also want to score goals, as well, in the next game I'll probably score," he added.
