Mokwena – arguably SA’s most exciting young coach in the school of theory, and now getting his first chance to test himself in the college of hard knocks.

AmaZulu coach Cavin Johnson had goalkeeper Siyabonga Mbatha pull up injured in the warm-up, meaning a debut in the sticks for 23-year-old Neil Boshoff.

Of course it was. Mokwena – arguably SA’s most exciting young coach in the school of theory, and now getting his first chance to test himself in the college of hard knocks – had less than a day, and apparently not one training session, to work with his squad. Bucs under Mokwena appear striving for something more fluid and attack-orientated first, though retaining the structure.

The crispness of some of Pirates’ passing in the opening half was at times a marvel to behold, inasmuch as their finishing lacked the same level of execution. Pule chipped to Ndlovu on the left, who crossed back in. Pule had run in, and deflected a header onto the right upright. Lorch struck a drive hard at Boshoff.
