Orlando Pirates Tshepang Moremi is not taking it too hard after they dropped points in their Betway Premiership title pursuit.
The Buccaneers’ title charge hit a stumbling block as a stubborn Durban City outfit held them to a 0-0 stalemate in their penultimate match of the season at a sold-out Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday.

Abdeslam Ouaddou’s charges now find themselves just two points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on 66 (points) heading into the final league game of the season at Mbombela Stadium.
Despite dominating proceedings from start to finish, Pirates were unable to penetrate the City defence with pressure now building as nothing but a win will see them being crowned league champions in 14 years when they head to Mpumalanga.
Even though they were unable to pick up maximum points, Moremi said the point will help them in great deal, further adding that they are aware what needs to be done and should not feel too hard undone by dropping points at home.
“The point is gonna help us because there’s only have one game left, all we have to do is to push,” he told OP TV.
“We shouldn’t take too hard on the naysayers but us we have to keep on going.
“We know what we want and we know what our aim is.
“But next week, we have to get the job done. It’s a must.”
Pirates take on relegation-threatened ORBIT College at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, 23 May.
