Pirates had lost three games in a row and were then knocked out of the Caf Champions League by Jwaneng Galaxy, which made it very hard for many to believe if they would be able to cause an upset against Downs. The 48 year-old Pirates coach says it was difficult playing in a strong wind for both sides in Durban, but he was happy to see his charges fight all the way.
“It’s a different game when you play against the wind and when the wind is on your side. Neither team managed to play consistently the way they wanted to play due to that. In the second half, we suffered a lot when we accumulated fatigue, and against the level that they had on the ball and the speed in their passing.”
