Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has opened up on his side's defeat to Sekhukhune United in their Betway Premiership opening clash at Orlando Stadium.
After a goalless first half, the Buccaneers were undone two minutes in the second half through Siphesihle Mkhize and wrestle their way back.

Ouaddou, who is in his first season with the club, lamented their lacklustre display in front of goal and believes they were dominant throughout.
“I think we were dominant. We created a lot of chances, very important chances that we could’ve scored,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV.
“But it’s the way of football when we are not decisive in the box in the finishing of course the opponent can have some chances and they had one chance they put it on the set-pieces.
“So, yeah but a lot of interesting things we have to keep believing. It’s the beginning, of course we wanted to show a lot of faith today to win again to confirm again.
“But the team played well. We were very good organised, created many chances, played some nice football. But let’s keep believing.
“I think when you see the behaviour of the players during the game, the intensity they put, we needed just to score because yeah, we hit the post, we had the last pass maybe a lack of finishing.
“But let’s focus for the next game, it’s the beginning, nothing is lost. I think we have to believe."
