The 32-year-old striker grabbed the chance with both hands as he rescued a point for Pirates just before the stroke of half time, after Sphesihle Maduna put Usuthu ahead earlier in the match."First goal after his first game in the starting eleven. I’m sure it’s important for the player and important for the group to see him performing."

"He’s an experienced player and that’s why now he’s part of our group. [He’s been] helping us from the beginning. Sometimes with quality minutes coming form the bench, today doing his best in the starting the eleven," the Spaniard added.
