AmaZulu FC win is important, not the performance - Orlando Pirates coach Zinnbauer

The former Hamburger SV manager was pleased with his defence after the Buccaneers kept a clean sheet against Benni McCathy's side

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer explained why the result was more important than the performance following the Soweto giants' win over AmaZulu FC on Thursday night.

The Buccaneers bounced back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Usuthu courtesy of Frank Mhango's second-half goal in PSL encounter which was played at Orlando Stadium.

The win boosted Pirates' ambitions of qualifying for next season's Caf Champions League as they are now four points behind second-placed AmaZulu and Bucs have a game in hand against TS Galaxy on Sunday.
