Richard Ofori elated to win first major trophy with Orlando Pirates
Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori has expressed his excitement after winning first major trophy with Orlando Pirates on Saturday.
The Buccaneers ended their six-year trophy droughtiness when they beat Bloemfontein Celtic 2-1 in the final of the MTN 8 tournament.
Goals from Deon Hotto and Thembinkosi Lorch handed the coveted trophy to Pirates at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Ofori virtually won the trophy for the Buccaneers with his stalling saves in the encounter.
The 26-year-old stopped a point blank powerful header with his feet right at the end to preserve Pirates' lead.
Ofori took to his Instagram page to show his joy for lifting the trophy.
“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other” I’d like to thank everyone that’s been apart of this journey from the start. It’s a start to many victories and am very grateful for having been apart of this history that’s been written tonight. A special thanks to my lovely family a special thanks to a committed team @Orlandopirates and glory be to the Lord God. Thank you so much Orlando Pirates family, the fans, friends, and media houses for spreading the love and support... God bless"
