Orlando Pirates were incredibly wasteful before conceding a late goal to lose 1-0 to Al Ahly Tripoli last week, and Richard Ofori was somewhat duly livid.
ORLANDO PIRATES LOSE HOME GAME BUT PROGRESS ON AGGREGATE
As The South African reported last Sunday, the Buccaneers lost the semi-final second-leg by the odd goal, but the job had already been complete with the 2-0 result away in the first leg.
Following last Sunday’s dim performance, coach Fadlu Davids revealed that his keeper Ofori was beside himself after the game.
“We made the final by losing 1-0. We came into the changing room and there were mixed emotions, Ofori wanted to hit all of our players in that moment, we had to calm him down, because we conceded a goal,” Davids said as quoted by iDiskiTimes.
“Goalkeepers as crazy as they are, they don’t like to concede and the mood in the change room after the match was perfect, in hindsight. It was not a lot of celebrations.
“Because the celebrations are for after the final, not for making the final. And that is the message and that is the mindset us as Orlando Pirates want to go into this final, get the job done. That’s the main message,” the former Maritzburg United head coach concluded.
