Watch as Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena and Highlands Park coach Owen De Gama speak to the media after their MTN8 clash on Saturday evening.
Pirates came into the game in the middle of a storm after Milutin Sredojevic’s shock resignation late on Friday night.
Pirates, who had lost their last two matches, needed a pick-me-up in the form of a win against Highlands, but the Lions of the North had other ideas.
The Soweto giants struggled to break down Da Gama’s disciplined side and Highlands were eventually rewarded for their endeavour when Wayde Jooste popped up at the back post in the 82nd minute to fire in what proved to be the winner.
