“Yes, of course first of all I have to congratulate our medical department, our performance department because they did a great job to allow him, push him to come back and of course he had a fantastic performance today likewise the boys,” Ouaddou told SuperSport after the game.

Ouaddou was quite vocal about he did not like Pirates playing around in the final stages, claiming he wanted more goals on the day.

“I’m happy about the performance of the boys, we wanted to come here to take the three points, it was crucial for us when you look the result yesterday it was very important. I said that before the game,” Ouaddou said.

“But we have to understand that we have to give thanks to the fans but I’m not somebody who like to enjoy like that, I like goals. If we can put five, six goals we have to put six goals.

"So, congratulations to my boys but in the last 20 minutes I don’t like to sterile possession, I want go forward."
