Orlando Pirates’ 6-0 thumping of TS Galaxy keeps them top of the table. Ouaddou’s side has a rescheduled clash with Kaizer Chiefs around the corner.
Orlando Pirates’ remaining fixtures
Pirates will sit atop the Betway Premiership standings until the end of the international break after a 6-0 rout of TS Galaxy. Bafana attacker Relebohile Mofokeng starred with a hat-trick. 21-year-old Mofokeng’s best position has been the subject of some debate, with South African national team boss Hugo Broos earmarking him for the number 10 role. Here’s what lies ahead for title-chasing Pirates:
- Tuesday, 7 April vs Golden Arrows, Orlando Stadium – 19:30
- Friday, 10 April vs Richards Bay, Richards Bay Stadium – 19:30
- Saturday, 18 April vs AmaZulu FC, Orlando Stadium – 15:00
- Sunday, 26 April vs Kaizer Chiefs, FNB Stadium – 15:00
- Tuesday, 5 May vs Stellenbosch FC, Athlone Stadium – 19:30
- Saturday, 9 May vs Magesi FC, Seshego Stadium – 20:00
- Saturday, 16 May vs Durban City, Orlando Stadium – 15:00
- Saturday, 23 May vs Orbit College, Royal Bafokeng Stadium – 15:00
Broos hints at a new role for Orlando Pirates star Mofokeng
Hugo Broos believes Relebohile Mofokeng’s best position is behind the striker as a number 10, rather than as a wide attacker. The 21-year-old is one of six Buccaneers stars in Broos’ latest Bafana squad to face Panama, but Sipho Chaine isn’t one of them.
“He is not a winger, but I will see now if he can satisfy us in that position,” said Broos.
“For me, he will not play anymore on the wing because I don’t think he is a winger. He doesn’t have the qualities to be a winger, but he can be a good number 10,” Broos said.
“With his intelligence and qualities, he can help the team a lot. It’s up to him now; I will give him a chance, and we will see what happens.”
