Orlando Pirates coach Milton Sredojevic admits that he wasn’t pleased with his sides failure to collect maximum points against Maritzburg United after the two sides played to a 0-0 draw.

Micho claims that his side started well, but failed to follow instructions to the T which resulted in his sides failure to score.

‘We started very well. We agreed that we shall find weaknesses in their defence and expose it,’ he said in post-match comments.

‘They are playing with three behind and then we had three of our players wide, with (Thembinkosi) Lorch and (Justin) Shonga coming into wide spaces.

‘We were creating chances, but then when we were creating chances we had wrong decision making against a tall goalkeeper like (Richard) Ofori, you can’t shoot at him in the areas of his chest or shoulder because there he will react.

‘He has a problem on the ground, we didn’t go for those balls on the ground.

‘We didn’t go for the cut backs because the opponents defence is fully focused in protecting him. We missed those chances. We didn’t open the game in time. And then on halftime, the opponent started to grow in confidence,’ he concluded.
