Orlando Pirates were just unlucky in the derby - Zinnbauer

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer says luck was not on their side as they lost 1-0 to Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto derby at FNB Stadium.

It was Pirates’ first defeat after seven games under Zinnbauer who took over in December 2019 and Chiefs are now seven points clear at the top.

Having been rejuvenated as title contenders, Zinnbauer feels Chiefs spoiled their day.

“We had a lot of chances [to score]. Today we did not have the luck you need to win against this team,” Zinnbauer told SuperSport TV.
