Mayo hailed by coach ahead of important Pirates clash

CR Belouizdad head coach  Abdelkader Amrani  hailed the impact of South African striker Khanyisa Mayo ahead of their CAF Champions League clash against Orlando Pirates.

The Algerian outfit will do battle with the Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon knowing only a win will keep them in the running for a quarter-final berth in the Champions League.

The two sides face off In Algeria two months ago, where Pirates walked away with a 2-1 victory while Mayo got the only goal for Belouizdad that night.

The French tactician has been pleased with the former Cape Town City star and his work-rate for the team.

"I'm very happy with his progress," Martins told reporters, as per Soccer Laduma.

"Yes, we have to understand that in the beginning it was a bit difficult for him, like it would be for any person being integrated into a new group but he has been working very hard at training and he has a lot of potential and belief that he will do very well here.

"Yes, I've used him in different positions, just to see how it goes and it has been going very well."

The match is scheduled to get underway at 15h00 at Orlando Stadium.
