Orlando Pirates lead Marumo Gallants by one goal at halftime of their DStv Premiership clash on Wednesday evening.Pirates rotated the side that drew against SuperSport United, as Innocent Maela, Paseka Mako, Bandile Shandu and Zakhele Lepasa were brought in and were without Thembinkosi Lorch while Gallants gave a debut to new signing Ivorian, Olivier Toure.
The Buccaneers had a dream start after Mako gave them the lead in the third minute with a tap-in into an empty net after Lepasa's cross-cum-shot ricocheted off the bottom near post. Jose Riveiro's charges had their tails up going forward, with the pace of Lepasa stretching the Gallants defence but they could not sustain their pressure and rhythm for longer periods.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa grew in the game as a result, with the likes of Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo looking lively in midfield but they were not getting behind the Pirates defence, as goalkeeper Richard Ofori only had one save to make just before the half-time break, down his throat after a shot from range by Ndlondlo.
Lepasa had a big chance to double the lead for Pirates on the stroke of halftime after he went clear on goal from Kabelo Dlamini's defence-splitting pass but his chipped effort over shot-stopper Washington Arubi.Ofori, Maela, Sibisi, Xoki, Mosele, Timm, Shandu, Mako, Pule, Dlamini, Lepasa.Marumo Gallants:Ngcobo, Hlatshwayo, Ravhuhali, Manaka, Kumalo, Ramaisane, Mokgope, Sibeko, Koapeng
