We owed our fans, says Pirates starSiyabonga Sangweni says the Orlando Pirates owed it to their fans to beat Golden Arrows in Saturday’s Telkom Knockout Cup semi-final.
Siyabonga Sangweni says the Orlando Pirates owed it to their fans to beat Golden Arrows in Saturday’s Telkom Knockout Cup semi-final.
The defender produced a man-of-the-match performance against his former team as the Pirates claimed a 3-1 victory on Saturday to book their place in the final.
And Sangweni hopes the win made up for the poor showing in their league defeat to Bidvest Wits a week earlier.
"There was no way Arrows or any other team for that matter could have stopped us on Saturday," he told the club's official website.
"We were hell-bent on reaching the final and I am happy we have managed to accomplish this goal."
"It was a collective team effort that we came back from a goal down to win the match 3-1 and qualify for the final."
"The victory was important for us and especially the supporters after we let them down against Wits a week ago. Losing against Arrows wasn't an option."
"We showed that we needed the win more than they did because we have a score to settle and had to regain the faith and confidence of our supporters after disappointing them in Mbombela."
Pirates will now meet Wits in the Cup final on December 10 after The Students' 3-0 defeat of Santos in the second semi-final on Sunday.
