Why Dondol Stars were furious during Orlando Pirates penalty shootout

“Spha had a water bottle by the goalposts and it was just pure, pure water. So the cadre there from Orlando Pirates I don’t know his name but that was very disgusting, you don’t do that.” the coach said as quoted by IdiskiTimes.

“Because you know this is a game of tempers we end up losing our tempers and respect. Spha has asthma. So if he doesn’t have the pump he needs the water that’s why I was angry.

“He went there and took the water bottle, now the game is on and Spha is focusing on the guy that was doing that. That was a total zero for me.”

“For all of you we’ve already won the game, and that’s the kind of pressure that comes with being at a club like this.

“Working for a club like Orlando Pirates means expectations are always high and everybody expects us to be in the next round.

“It’s a competition and there’s an opponent in front who wants the same thing as us, so they’ll always be under pressure but it’s not negative.”
