Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has explained where his team must improve after claiming their first win in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday night.

Kamogelo Sebelebele's impressive first-half strike was enough to hand the Buccaneers a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch FC at Orlando Stadium.

“Of course, delighted, delighted for the fans because I have a thought for them because they were waiting these three points since now two-three weeks so I have thought first of all for them,” Ouaddou told SuperSport after the game.

“I would like to congratulate my boys because they have got the character as well. We had a very interesting first half, we created top chances, we could have killed the game earlier."

Ouaddou, however, wants the Buccaneers to have more control of games, especially when they start well.

“In the second half, I think that we lost the control and I think we have to improve that if we want to go higher. We cannot accept that to lose control in a game that we controlled since the beginning,” Ouaddou added.

“Look, because I’m looking for positional game, I’m looking for space between the lines, but modern football has to balance the opponent.

“Sometimes you need to identify the free space and they did it well. We have to diversify our style of play not only that, but it was interesting today."
