  "account": "Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou criticized his team's second half showboating following their 3-1 Champions League win over Mauritius' La Cure Waves. Despite leading 3-1 at halftime, Ouaddou expressed disappointment over their inability to score more goals, stating they could have easily added three or four more goals. He emphasized the importance of maintaining serious focus and not engaging in showboating, as it hinders the team's ability to score and progress. Pirates will now face Namibian side African Stars in the final qualifying round. The coach was pleased with his team's reaction after falling behind early, as they equalized just minutes later, demonstrating their character and determination.",
  "summary": "'I was really not happy about the second half,' said the Pirates head coach.",
