Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns centre-back Booth unconvinced by Orlando Pirates' defence

The former Bafana Bafana centre-back was commenting on the game at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, where Bucs came from a goal down to beat Chippa United

Former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Matthew Booth feels Orlando Pirates' willingness to attack from the back could be a risky tactic.

While The Sea Robbers ended up comfortable 3-1 winners against Chippa United, they had not been convincing in the first half.

Apart from conceding first to a Phakamani Mahlambi goal in the 12th minute, the Pirates defence was exposed on several other occasions in the opening half. Were it not for some wasteful finishing, Chippa could have established a greater and perhaps unassailable lead.
