Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou was pleased to get a win on board in the Betway Premiership, but has revealed where they need to improve going forward.
It took a first half cracker from hard-running Kamogelo Sebelebele to get the Buccaneers over the line against the tough-tackling Maroons.
Although, given the chances in the first half- they should’ve been out of sight according to the under-fire mentor who nonetheless credited the character from his charges.

“Of course, delighted, delighted for the fans because I have a thought for them because they were waiting these three points since now two-three weeks 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."
The former Marumo Gallants FC coach wasn’t pleased with the manner in which they lost control of matters in the second half.
Furthermore, he aims to apply a positional game and finding space between the lines and believes they have to vary their style of play.
“In the second half, I think that we lost the control and I think we have to improve that if we want to go higher. We cannot accept that to lose control in a game that we controlled since the beginning,” Ouaddou said.
“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."
