Orlando Pirates head coach Milutin Sredojevic and assistant coach Rhulani Mokwena celebrate their victory during the Absa Premiership match between Bidvest Wits and Orlando Pirates at Bidvest Stadium in Johannesburg, April 6 2019. Picture: GALLO IMAGES
Pirates’ win‚ courtesy of an injury-time own goal by Wits left back Keagan Ritchie‚ caused them to move to the top of the Absa Premiership table on a better goal difference than Sundowns‚ but the Brazilians have the advantage of a match in hand.“Right at the death we have won. I don’t believe that this victory was stolen; I believe we deserved it because that’s what the football gods are paying us for all the draws we have played. This is how sometimes football gods are taking from you.
“Today we had a situation that since 2013 Pirates had not beaten Wits here and we had come with that at the back of our minds. Players fought very hard and we were rewarded with that goal. But … there are so many critical things that we need to go back to the drawing back [for] and look to fix in the next match.
Sredojevic says he is relieved Pirates will host Black Leopards on Wednesday with his best player‚ Thembinkosi Lorch‚ back from suspension after missing the Wits match.
