Orlando Pirates legend Moeneeb Josephs says Kaizer Chiefs were found wanting against the Buccaneers on Saturday afternoon at the FNB Stadium.
Goals from Evidence Makgopa and Relebohile Mofokeng were enough to see the Buccaneers complete a league double over their Soweto rivals. Amakhosi scored in the second minute through Makabi Lilepo; however, the Sea Robbers came back to earn a 2-1 victory over Chiefs.
Speaking on Soccer Beat podcast, Josephs expressed his disappointment in Orlando Pirates’ early approach to the game, which allowed Kaizer Chiefs to score.
“We have had a rotten week for us as supporters and players,” said the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.
“We have had one of our worst weeks this season. After the four minutes we conceded, we never looked at ourselves, we just never looked at ourselves. All of a sudden, we just picked up our character and showed our old self again.”
“I said it on Twitter first, I said ‘Kaizer Chiefs is like me, they are toothless, Mr Du Toit’. They never came to beat us, they were too scared to lose,” Josephs said.
