Output in context · Orlando Pirates finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
