Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has reacted to his side’s 2-0 win over Magesi FC saying they should have scored more goals.
Pirates dominated the game with 17 shots at goal and six on target with two of those going at the back of the net through Yanela Mbuthuma and Relebohile Mofokeng in the first half. The result meant the Buccaneers are now joined top on the Betway Premiership table with Mamelodi Sundowns on 32 points but in second place due an inferior goal difference
Ouaddou congratulated his charges for the victory but emphasised the need to be clinical in front of goal.
“Look I just have to be happy about the points; the victory was important in front of our fans for the first game at home,” said Ouaddou on SuperSport TV.
“I think the guys respected the plan. We wanted to press and to open very high, not to let him breathe in terms of counter pressing, but not to leave in space. We achieve it well, in terms of the entrance in the last third, I think it was top and we have to see the numbers of the data, but we made a lot of entries, lot of opportunities.
“In that case, I think we have definitely to improve in that area, because we could have scored maybe six goals today. And every point, every goal will be important at the end of the season. It’s why I’m very happy about the boys. I really congratulate them, but I have a little bit of a test that we could have scored a lot but let’s keep going.”
