Published on by

Marumo Gallants coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has explained how his side got the better of Kaizer Chiefs.

Amakhosi suffered a home 2-1 defeat at the hands of the lowly Marumo Gallants at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

With this result, they extended their winless streak to six matches. 

Amakhosi scored first with Glody Lilepo rattling the back of the net in the first half to put his side ahead before Matome Mathiane equalised ahead of the break.

Daniel Msendami scored the second goal in the second half, collecting the maximum points for the Free State-based outfit.

Ouaddou says they didn’t want to park the but and planned they were going to overcome Nasreddine Nabi’s troops.

OUADDOU SAYS THEY HAD NO INTENTION TO PARK THE BUS

“I think it’s a big win for us, I told you we will come here not to park the bus but with the ambition to take three points, we did it,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV.

“Today, I have a thought for my players that were very brave since the beginning since two months it was not easy. I have thought for our fans, I have thought for my chairman as well so I think we can say you can see the result.

“I think you can say that the mission is over, but now we have to be more ambitious and maybe we can see the eight, nine, seventh place if we can reach it and to finish well this season,”

He continued, “Of course, we were disappointed in the way we conceded the goal. I have the feeling that the teams are scoring very easy against us especially in the last four games but it shows that our players have a big character, have a big personality to come back in a game like that with all the fans in front of a big club like that it shows that we have resources,” he added.
