The Team of Choice fared well in the first half of the game, although they conceded just before halftime thanks to Monnapule Saleng. Pirates doubled their lead through Terrence Dzvukamanja in the second half.

The visitors scored their solitary goal through Tumelo Njoti in the dying embers of the match.

“Yeah, what a fantastic first half especially. For 90 minutes I think tactically our boys applied exactly what we asked of them.” Davids relayed to SuperSport TV.

“To concede in a critical phase, in a moment that we spoke about, [Monnapule] Saleng cutting in, in more than 90 degrees to get the ball on his left foot, really disappointing when you concede just before halftime. I think we tried to keep the spirits up because one second later we go into halftime at 0-0.

“We can build on the momentum, because the first half was definitely ours tactically. But not using the chances, not using the better moments to get behind the defense line. But from start to finish, we have to galvanise the squad, galvanise the city, galvanise the club, get behind these boys because they were absolutely fantastic.

“We have to take these lessons, Kaizer Chiefs [lost 2-1 the week before], the lessons tonight and take on SuperSport [United] and the rest of our remaining games because I believe if we can continue like this, not just against big club, any team we face, we can get three points.” He added.
