It wasn’t the start Cape Town City head coach Jan Olde Riekerink was looking for, but he was able to find several positives from the defeat to Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
The Citizens had been in superb form when the Premier Soccer League (PSL) resumed after the four-month break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
But the Cape side was unable to keep that momentum going upon the start of the 2020/ 21 campaign as a well-taken header by Terrence Dzvukamanja in the 23rd minute earned the Gauteng side a 1-0 win on Saturday night at the Citizens’ expense.
