Cape Town City mentor Eric Tinkler imputed their flat display in their Wednesday’s goalless draw against Orlando Pirates to the pressure of trying to leap to position three on the table.

“When I say pressure, winning three points tonight potentially could have taken us third on the log [depending on other results on the night] and I think a lot of emphasis has been put on that over the past week.’’ “I tried to take that pressure off the players prior to the game, saying to them ‘you know what, it’s important for us to keep a clean sheet let’s go out there and express ourselves… let’s not be afraid to play, let’s not be afraid to lose’. I told them if we lose it’s not the end of the world we have three home games coming up…that’s where we can always redeem ourselves,’’ Tinkler explained.
