CAPE TOWN SPURS BEAT ORLANDO PIRATES

Having scored an early goal via Lubeni Haukongo before Jarrod Moroole made it 2-0 on 36 minutes, Pirates’ pullback from Evidence Makgopa turned out to be just a consolation as Spurs ran out 2-1 winners on Wednesday.

Speaking to the media after the game, Spurs’ interim coach Sean Connor was quick to remind Pirates and the PSL that Spurs are not really a small football club.

“First of all, we are a big club too, okay,” said Connor as quoted by FARPost.

“No, it doesn’t get any easier. I have just told the players now that it’s just one game.

“We started a process and that’s how we responded. We set fairly decent standards. I think to be honest with you even earlier on in the season, we probably had better performances and got defeats.

“I think what we showed tonight [last night] was resilience, belief and trust in the process. So no it doesn’t get any easier and I don’t want the players to think it gets any easier,” the Northern Ireland-born tactician added.
