Orlando Pirates coach Zinnbauer explains how Tshobeni impressed him against Jwaneng Galaxy

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer says he was pleased with the way young midfielder Azola Tshobeni handled himself during Sunday's Caf Confederation Cup match against Botswana side Jwaneng Galaxy at the Orlando Stadium.

The Buccaneers won the match 1-0 thanks to Linda Mntambo's goal 10 minutes into the second half. That gave them a 4-0 aggregate victory and booked the Sea Robbers their spot in the group phase.

The 3-0 first-leg win from the match in Gaborone the previous weekend enabled Zinnbauer to rest some of his senior players and to give game-time to some of those players who don't usually feature regularly.
