Orlando Pirates coach Zinnbauer pleased with Sam and Tshobeni’s contributions

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer was not totally satisfied with Orlando Pirates’ performance in their 1-0 win over Maritzburg United but did praise individuals.

Bucs had come into the game without having scored a goal in their last two matches – a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Black Leopards and a 0-0 stalemate against Golden Arrows.

With strikers Gabadinho Mhango, Tshegofatso Mabasa and Zakhele Lepasa all out injured, Zinnbauer started with attacking midfielders Thembinkosi Lorch and Vincent Pule upfront.

It was, however, winger Deon Hotto who got the only goal of the game at the Harry Gwala Stadium, converting Bongani Sam’s 41st-minute cross.
