Relebohile Mofokeng cites missed opportunities against Sekhukhune United as a sign that it was not Orlando Pirates' day

Relebohile Mofokeng believes Orlando Pirates’ goalless draw against Sekhukhune United was just a game not theirs to win.

Mofokeng was unimpressed with the number of opportunities they missed in Limpopo’s Peter Mokaba Stadium which could have seen them win the game.

The outcome of the draw had far reaching ramifications for the Sea Robbers as it meant they were unable to leapfrog Mamelodi Sundowns on top of the Betway Premiership table.

They still have a game less than Sundowns but are now equal on points, 29.

“I think if it’s not your day, it’s not your day. We missed many chances,” Mofokeng told the Pirates media.

“When I’m on the bench sitting there, seeing my players missing chances, I just said, ‘Today is not our day’.

“But then I came on, tried to create more chances but then the goalkeeper saved many chances.

“So, I think we did our best. We did very well for the start of the game. I think we did very well.

“We need our supporters because the second half of the season is very important to us to stay there, to stay number one.

“We need them because they’re the ones that motivate us. We’ll need them in numbers.

“I think we’ll make them very happy at the coming games.”

Pirates face Magesi FC on Saturday as they plan to resuscitate their PSL top of the table pursuit.
