Zinnbauer Suffers Another Defeat In Saudi After 7-1 Hammering

Riyadh giants hammer Orlando Pirates not for the first time this month

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has endured another humiliating defeat on Saudi Arabian soil after his side were on the receiving end of a 7-1 thumping at the hands of Riyadh giants Al Hilal in a friendly match on Tuesday night.

Seven years of hurt

The heavy loss was the Bucs' third defeat in succession at the hands of Al Hilal after they suffered a 4-0 defeat against the same opponents in the group stage earlier this month, followed by a 2-0 defeat last Friday.

Pirates simply outclassed

The South African side were outplayed in all departments as goals from Saleh Al-Shehri, Andre Carrillo, Salem Al-Dawsari, Musab Al-Juwayr, Matheus Pereira, Mohammed Kanno and Abdullah Al-Mayouf condemned them to their heaviest ever defeat against the Saudi club in the club's history.
