MTN8: Orlando Pirates did not have ‘a good solution against Swallows FC’ - Zinnbauer

The Buccaneers will not be able to retain the trophy they won last season and the German shed some light on their problems

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnabuer has conceded their response in trying to claw their way back into the game against Swallows FC was not the perfect reaction as they bowed out of the MTN8 at the quarter-finals stage.

The Soweto giants lost 2-1, succumbing to Ruzaigh Gamildien’s brace scored in the opening 23 minutes of the match before they hit back through Kabelo Dlamini’s penalty on the 30-minute mark.

Zinnbauer says their attempts to change “positions and structure” did little to help them get back into the game.
