Ouaddou did not hold back in his assessment of the contest, labelling the first-half display a disaster.

“To be honest, I love my team. Of course I will tell you we deserved more especially if you look at the chances we create in the second half because I don’t want to talk about the first half,” Ouaddou told SuperSport TV post-match.

“The first half was really a disaster. So, if I take into consideration where we had more interest in the last third, more play forward, more combination and more interest in the last third of course we deserved to win that game.

“But to be honest, I don’t think too many teams are coming to win here, I told you in the beginning that AmaZulu is really a strong team. They have some good players. I think the coach is a very good coach.

“I told you he is one of the best coaches in this PSL. I really like him, I appreciate him he is very humble and if we have to talk about that, it’s ok the season is long. But we need to wake up, some players really need to wake up quickly.

“I have to give credit to Sibisi and Chaine ,of course they went to the World Cup and they play every game, but the other ones really need to wake up because me I don’t have time because now it’s an emergency,” he continued.
