Kaizer Chiefs weren't tactically superior to Orlando Pirates - Zinnbauer

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer has defended his tactics against Kaizer Chiefs, saying while Ernst Middendorp's game plan worked on Saturday, it didn't mean his side had a poor game.

Zinnbauer said it's always easy to manage the game well when leading but he admitted Chiefs made it very difficult for them to score on the day, adding that they have a solid defence and the quality all round.

"It's very easy [to manage the game] when you have a goal. When we conceded and then we had a problem because they have a very good defence," Zinnbauer told the media.
