Wits loss a minor setback – Qalinge

The Buccaneers tasted defeat for the first time this season when they lost 1-0 to Bidvest Wits last Saturday.

Prior to the Wits loss, Pirates went on a five-game unbeaten streak, recording three victories and two draws in the process.

“It is part of football to lose some games, but we always want to win,” said the winger on Tuesday.

“We lost to a good team, but we pulled out a great fight, we were just unfortunate to lose the match. Going forward, we have to make it a point that we win our games.”
