Jwaneng Galaxy’s interim coach, Boyo “Oris” Radipotsane has said his side can progress to group stages of the CAF Confederations Cup despite Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to South Africa’s Orlando Pirates.

Galaxy were yesterday afternoon hammered 3-0 by Pirates in the first leg of the competition’s playoff round played at the National Stadium. Goals from Thulani Hlatshwayo, Linda Mntambo and substitute Marc-Jean Mundele ensured that the Buccaneers take a comfortable lead ahead of their home fixture to be played next week. “Galaxy has 12 months without playing football, the players are not fully fit.

The other thing is that I have only five days with the first team, so I couldn’t build the right team to play a team like Pirates with so many quality players. Whilst they are fully active, they have an advantage over us.
