Orlando Pirates winger-cum-defender Kamogelo Sebelebele has vowed that they will have to step it up and improve on their mistakes after their narrow defeat to Saudi Pro League outfit NEOM SC.
The Buccaneers concluded their pre-season tour of Spain with a second loss after going down 1-0 to the Saudi side at the Marbella Football Center on Friday night. They were also beaten by another Saudi team in Al Ittihad SC, 3-2.

NEOM were first to break the deadlock in the 31st minute through Saïd Benrahma who beat Sipho Chaine with an audacious free-kick at the near post to make it 1-0 which is how the game ended.
Abdeslam Ouaddou has thus seen his troops end their European tour with two wins, two defeats plus a solitary stalemate.
Upon their return to Mzansi, the Bafana Bafana winger has spoken of how they intend to work on their mistakes to be ready for the new season.
“It’s not the results we wanted,” he told the club’s media.
“But we will fix it [mistakes] at training and improve on our mistakes.”
The defending league champions get their campaign underway with a Betway Premiership encounter against top-flight newcomers Milford FC on Saturday, 1 August, at Orlando Amstel Arena.
