Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has questioned the decision to play at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium following their 2-1 win over Polokwane City.

Goals from Relebohile Mofokeng and Patrick Maswanganyi in the second half guided the Buccaneers to victory on Wednesday night.

The Buccaneers coach, however, was not pleased that they weren’t allowed to use the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.

“You mentioned it, but let’s congratulate the boys, it’s not easy to come and win in Polokwane, we know that it’s a strong team, we know very compact, they play with braveness and the pitch today didn’t help us,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV after the game.

“In that case, sometimes I don’t understand you have a magnificent stadium next to that stadium and I think it’s the image of the PSL because PSL is one of the best – it’s the best league in Africa.

“So, I think we have to put the teams in the right condition to play nice football for the fans you understand.

“But coming to the game, we were very brave, we wanted to start the game and score early but unfortunately, we didn’t. But we created so many, so many, so many chances and I will say well done boys,” he added.

Pirates will be back in action next week against Richards Bay FC at the Orlando Amstel Arena.
