Abdeslam Ouaddou says Golden Arrows goal glut boosts confidence of title chasing Orlando Pirates

It was another resounding display from Abdeslaam Ouaddou's side after their 6-0 drubbing of TS Galaxy to keep their league title hopes alive.

Relebohile Mofokeng opened the scoring at the Orlando Amstel Arena after 15 minutes.

Oswin Appollis added a second a minute before the half-hour mark and Ayabulela Maxwele turned the ball into his own net after 36 minutes for Bucs' third goal.

Mofokeng bagged his second of the night on the hour mark and Appollis completed the rout with his second goal on the 90-minute mark.

The result left Bucs on 54 points from 23 games, in second place on the standings, two points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Arrows are down in eighth place with 28 points from 23 games.

Speaking after the game, Ouaddou said in the Sowetan: "It [winning by big margins] is important for ambitious teams who are playing for the first position.

"It gives trust and confidence and the goal difference will be very important at the end of the season, so I've told my boys that every game we need to play with a very strong fighting spirit until the last second of the last game. Why? Because we don't want any regrets at the end of the season."

"We played the game that we wanted in terms of organisation, in terms of discipline, defensive discipline, again we didn't concede," added Ouaddou.

"It was really a top game for us. We have proven that we are not a team who can only play on transition, we are a team that can play football as well. Some people thought we were just lucky against Galaxy."
