The Moroccan tactician, who has already delivered the MTN8 title this season, is now on the brink of claiming a second domestic trophy yet he insists it's far too early for self-reflection.

"I think it's too soon to summarise my time so far at Orlando Pirates, I'll be judged at the end of the season," Ouaddou said after the match.

"I'm still in the beginning. In the job, you have to be very humble. I think the ambition we have is to deliver in every game a good performance."
