Telkom Knockout Cup: Orlando Pirates on an upward trajectory – Mokwena

Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena has allayed fears his team is under pressure and in a crisis, preferring to say they are on an upward trajectory.

The Buccaneers manager has failed to lead the club to the semi-finals of the Telkom Knockout Cup as they lost 4-2 on penalties to bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday afternoon.

Moreover, the 34-year-old is now trying to lead the Soweto giants to a win as they welcome in-form Maritzburg United on Tuesday night in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

“If you look at basically the results and not consider penalties then you will understand that out of the last five games we have won two, drawn two and only lost one,” Mokwena told the media as quoted by Phakaaathi.
