Orlando Pirates coach Fadlu Davids felt his side could have done with a bit more creativity in the game against Maritzburg United, a 0-0 draw at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Wednesday evening.
While Maritzburg keeper Marcel Engelhardt did pull off a couple of good saves, he was not overly tested on the night, even after the hosts had been reduced to 10 men following Brandon Theron's 66th-minute red card for a foul on Thabang Monare.
And while it was clear that Maritzburg coach Ernst Middendorp had set up his side to avoid a third consecutive league defeat, Davids felt that his team could have done with a bit more spark and innovation.
"Quite disappointing in the first half not to take advantage of the opportunities you create.
"Of course on the other hand you have to give credit to the opponent in terms of their defensive display," he told SuperSport TV, on his return to his former club.
