Deon Hotto says Orlando Pirates must "soldier on" after Siwelele setback
Former Buccaneers midfielder Vincent Pule opened the scoring in the 30th minute at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday ahead of a Tshepang Moremi equaliser six minutes into the second half.
The result left Pirates ahead of the Brazilians at the top of the standings by just one point and from an extra game played.
While Sundowns play Marumo Gallants in their next clash on Tuesday, Hotto's team are next in action against TS Galaxy on Sunday.
Reflecting on the result, the player admitted they struggled to convert their chances against Siwelele but cannot dwell on past mistakes.
"You can have as many shots on target as you want, what is most important is scoring. It is a draw, one point and we take it to the next game."
"This was a game we had in hand, we controlled everything," said Hotto in the Ciitizen.
“Possession, shots on target, everything, the ball just didn't want to go into the net. What can we do? We soldier on and look to the next opponent.”
