"A very tough game. We did the most difficult thing to get the lead, and then we didn’t manage well to consolidate the result," he said.

"They found a goal in a lost situation, in a second action, a bit lucky.

"Again one point, we are not satisfied with the point, but it is what it is."

Pirates are still without a win in their last three league games and are 12th on the league table, with Polokwane City now in fourth position.

The Bucs' next league game would be against struggling Cape Town Spurs at the Cape Town Stadium on Wednesday, November 1.
