Orlando Pirates defender Nkosikhona Ndaba has admitted that because they are chasing the Betway Premiership title, they cannot afford to lose ground in the chase.
The Buccaneers were under immense to come out victorious in their league clash against Richards Bay, a day after Mamelodi Sundowns had beaten ORBIT College 2-0 to occupy top spot.
Abdeslam Ouaddou’s charges responded well against the Natal Rich Boyz, who had just come off a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs, beating them 2-0 at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Wednesday evening.
Ndaba has been an integral part of the Bucs defence this season and emphasized on how it’s important for them to come out victorious in every match going forward.
“All games that we play are very important. We have to take three points because we are chasing the league,” he told OP TV.
“The outcome of the game was very important even though it was not easy.
“We analysed them and we were able to identify their strengths. They are good in marking, and they are good in transition, and they know how to press.
“It was a very difficult game. It wasn’t easy at all.
“We needed plenty of goals but we were unable to score them. We will get chances, all we need to do is convert the chances.”
