Abdeslam Ouaddou criticises Orlando Pirates' performance after 2-0 win against Sekhukhune

Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou expressed disappointment with his team's performance after their 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday. Despite securing a win and moving the Buccaneers to the top of the standings with 10 points, Ouaddou felt their match against Babina Noko was their worst since arriving at Pirates.

He highlighted their lack of control in the midfield and lack of diversity in their game. The coach was particularly concerned about their predictability and inability to control the heart of the pitch, conceding that his team wasn't deserving of the victory. The result, however, gives Pirates a 1-0 advantage over Sekhukhune in their upcoming MTN8 semi-final second leg, which carries significant importance.

Ouaddou warned that his team will need substantial improvement to progress to the final, especially in midfield balance and attacking unpredictability.
