Orbit College head coach Pogiso Makhoye takes positives from opening day defeat

An own-goal by Ndumiso Ngiba on 23 minutes settled the tie at the Princess Magogo Stadium.

Orbit were competeing in their first Betway Premiership game since earning promotion via the play-offs last season and are a nervy start, applied themsevles well, explained Makhoye.

He said in the Citizen: "I think it was always going to be a difficult match away from home in the first game in top-flight football.

"The first 15 minutes there were a lot of nerves, but after that we started controlling the match until that moment of madness where we conceded an own goal.

"But I cannot fault the boys, I think they applied themselves well, especially in terms of defensive organisation, where you can have moments and control the game. I'm happy with the performance and I'm not worried about losing 0-1 away from home. I'm not under pressure."

Orbit are next in action against newly formed Siwelele on Tuesday. The newly-formed team beat Golden Arrows 3-1 in their first game.
