Orlando Pirates’ 1-0 win over Stellenbosch FC was more than three points. It also gave fans a new talking point about Relebohile Mofokeng.
The 20-year-old, traditionally a left winger, was pushed into a number 10 role while Patrick Maswanganyi surprisingly dropped to the bench.
Mofokeng looked dangerous and lively, linking well with Oswin Appollis and Kamogelo Sebelebele in attack.

“I cannot say that I see him in future in that position [10], as a coach you have to analyse the profile of the players that you have, analyse the connection between them, what can work, what cannot work,” Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou said on whether the shift is permanent or not.

“I thought he had a good connection with Appollis and Sebelebele, maybe we can see him again in that role but he can still play wide – but he’s a profile of a player that we need to give freedom,” Ouaddou added.
