Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has discussed why it’ll be important for them to have freely scoring strikers.
The Sea Robbers had an issue with their striking department in the previous matches with their primary number nine Yanela Mbuthuma struggling to score.

They relied on other players who play other positions to score until Boitumelo Radiopane scored in the league match against Sekhukhune United, being the first centre-forward to find the net.
Then Mbuthuma provided two assists in the MTN8 semifinal second leg against Sekhukhune United before bagging a brace against Kruger United.
Ouaddou says he’s happy when the players upfront are able to finish the chances that they create.
“Look, the positive point, there are some games where we create a lot of chances and we didn’t manage to be efficient,” said Ouaddou.
“And that game, we didn’t create so many chances, and we managed to score four goals.
“So well done, well done to the boys. These goals came in an important moment where we will play the Champions League, we will play the MTN.
“So, I think it’s really important for the boys to start to score and to bring that competition in the team. It will be very important.”
