This is the stuff the coach ordered to see - Orlando Pirates' Zinnbauer

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has credited his “good defending structure” and tactical substitution for Wednesday’s 1-0 Premier Soccer League win over Maritzburg United at Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Frank ‘Gabadinho’ Mhango rose from the bench to beat the final whistle with the decisive goal that earned Pirates a second consecutive win while condemning their opponents to a five-match winless streak since the season restarted.

While facing a strong confrontation from Maritzburg’s attackers, Pirates' defence marshalled by captain Happy Jele stood solid for a clean sheet.
