Orlando Pirates got a lucky let off late in the game but still came away with only a point at Lamontville Golden Arrows at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday night as the goalless draw handed their title hopes another blow, following last weekend’s derby defeat.
The tie left Pirates still significantly behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs, who beat them last Saturday, and with only seven matches to go must now likely readjust their sights.
The game started with an unexpected gust of wind that continued throughout the game, blowing directly from one goal to the other and handing Pirates an early advantage. A heavy pitch made progress difficult, however, and in the first half, Arrows’ inexperienced goalkeeper Sifiso Mlungwana was only forced into one serious save – parrying away a dipping 20th minute freekick by Vincent Pule.
