‘Pirates travelled to Spain only to be beaten by team that didn’t go anywhere! Riveiro was a plumber, Ouaddou is carpenter’

Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou started his Premier Soccer League journey with the Buccaneers on a low note as they fell by a solitary goal against Sekhukhune United.

Babina Noko scored their solitary goal at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday through Siphesihle Mkhize, who capitalised on shambolic defending by the Soweto giants.

This is how football fans in Mzansi reacted to that result as sampled by Afrik-Foot.
