Orlando Pirates teenage sensation Mohau Nkota is not throwing in the towel just yet following their shock defeat to Sekhukhune United on Wednesday evening.
The Buccaneers once again lost ground in narrowing the gap on league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns after they were beaten 1-0 by Babina Noko at Orlando Stadium while Masandawana hammered Richards Bay 3-0 to move to 58 points while Pirates remained on 46 points in second spot.

With nine matches remaining, Nkota has not lost hope and believes that they will bounce back from back-to-back defeats and get back on track again.
“Coming from a loss getting into another loss is not easy but we just move on we focus to the next one. That’s what we always do,” Nkota told OP TV.
“We tried to keep the ball as much as possible to open space through the defenders but unfortunately we didn’t.

“They were sitting, and they wanted to hit us with counter attacks and unfortunately we conceded with a set-piece.
“It’s not bad for us. We move on to the next one. We’re gonna fix it.”
