Usuthu kept their much-fancied opponents at bay for the whole game. The Spaniard however, bemoaned their fixture congestion, claiming that they were not supposed to play this match.

“I am blessed to have a team full of warriors… 

“people who are committed no matter how difficult the circumstances are. People who are putting their health and their careers at risk.

“I have to say again, I don’t think it was healthy to play against Pirates today. These players are not machines even though they behaved like they are today.

“We will keep going. Another tough game on Saturday.

“No time to rest. There’s travelling in between and no time to prepare but I know this team is going to be competitive again against Chippa, hopefully we can finish off the week with three points,” he spoke.

Martin also reserved special praise for right back Mondli Mbanjwa after making his first start for the club since joining from Uthongathi FC.

“If we are not paying attention in Mbanjwa, we are making a mistake,” the head coach spoke.  

“He showed everyone his quality. I think he had an amazing game.” He stated.

Usuthu take on Chippa United in their next game. Pablo Franco Martin Proud of Players After Orlando Pirates Draw!
