Reports In Saudi 'Reveal' Why Pitso Was Upset After Defeat
Reports in Saudi Arabia claim to know why Pitso Mosimane was dissatisfied after his team's loss to Steven Gerrard's side on the weekend. Abha Club suffered a 3-0 defeat to the former Liverpool captain's Al Ettifaq on Saturday afternoon, with Cameroon international Karl Toko Ekambi among the scorers.
The 31-year-old joined Gerrard's side from Abha Club in the January transfer window on a permanent deal, reportedly against Mosimane's wishes. Rumours at the time suggested that the South African was aiming to persuade the club to hang on to the former Ligue 1 forward just days following his appointment.
Ekambi eventually departed, however, with his goal on the weekend believed to have left Mosimane unhappy with the club's decision to approve his exit, according toThe experienced striker scored Al Ettifaq's second goal in their 3-0 victory, with former Olympique Lyon forward Moussa Dembele also getting on the scoresheet. Abha Club's latest setback means they are now five points away from safety with only 11 league matches remaining.
