The draw sees Pirates extend their winless run to three matches after back-to-back losses in the league.
Off-signing Kamogelo Sebelebele was on the score-sheet for Pirates while Sipho Mbule and Oswin Appollis made an impact off the bench.
“Yes, I think they showed a fantastic performance today. It’s what we expect from our players when we play for such big club so let’s keep going. I hope they will confirm again and we still have the other players that will maybe not on the bench or maybe not on the pitch. We think for them and everybody will be important," the coach told SuperSport TV.
He continued, “I think the content today was interesting – we showed some character, strength from our boys hich was aimed to play forward to create chances but in football you know sometimes it’s not easy because the result has to match the performance.
“At the moment, the result is not matching with the performance first of all, let’s hope that in the future we will take result and everything will be around. I should praise fans to be patient, I know it’s not the way in big clubs, but I hope they will be patient with us."
