RHULANI MOKWENA PRAISES ORLANDO PIRATES KEEPER CHAINE

With Pirates having thoroughly dominated the game from start to finish, Mokwena felt that Chaine was the definitive factor.

“I think Chaine makes a big difference in the profile of Pirates,” Rhulani said via SowetanLIVE.

“He gives them an extra man, and I understand a little bit the anxiety that comes with that [a keeper playing from the back] because it’s not normal,” Mokwena added.

“That was the biggest difference today…it gave them very good build-up possibilities and they could build from the back. Chaine was a very incredible difference if you compare to all the other games [Sundowns played against Pirates].”
