However, they could not make it two in a row and were held to a 1-1 draw by Chippa United in their league opener.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Masandawana returned to winning ways on Tuesday with a 2-0 victory over AmaZulu and will look to extend their unbeaten streak on Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WHAT WAS SAID<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou understands Buccaneers fans\u2019 frustrations with the team\u2019s start to the season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe understand [the fans] when the club loses two games in a row, it&#8217;s normal that they are not happy and we are not happy as well,\u201d said Ouaddou following Pirates\u2019 loss to Marumo Gallants on Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know we have to react because we&#8217;re a big club, we have to react very quickly to find solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has admitted that transfer speculation surrounding Lucas Ribeiro, Peter Shalulile and Khuliso Mudau has contributed to his side\u2019s slow start to the season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not easy to deal with what\u2019s happening in the team and not worry about that or not be concerned about that, or not believe it\u2019s not impacting the team, we would be naive to think things can happen and the players don\u2019t relate with those things,\u201d Cardoso said following Masandawana\u2019s win over AmaZulu on Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PLAYERS TO WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orlando Pirates &#8211; Deon Hotto: Deon Hotto has performed well to start the season, presenting an attacking threat down the left-hand side and already providing one assist this season. Hotto was nominated for the MTN8 Last Man Standing award last season, and will certainly try to make his case for the accolade again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mamelodi Sundowns &#8211; Iqraam Rayners: Iqraam Rayners has bagged three goals in three games to start the season. The striker looks in fine form in front of goal and will look to add to his tally come Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HEAD-TO-HEAD<\/strong>&nbsp;(Cup
