We can't blame anyone - Orlando Pirates' Hlatshwayo defends Ofori after blunder

Orlando Pirates vice-captain Thulani Hatshwayo has backed his teammate Richard Ofori, who made a goalkeeping error in their clash against Baroka FC on Saturday afternoon.

The Buccaneers had to fight back to hold Bakgaga Ba Mphahlele to a 1-1 draw in a Premier Soccer League (PSL) match at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

Baroka broke the deadlock after Ofori spilt a corner-kick into the Ananias Gebhardt's path and the Namibian left-back scored with a half-volley to hand the visitors the lead.

"I think as a team we did well to fight back after conceding from our own mistake," Hlatshwayo said on the club's Twitter account.
