JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - MARCH 11: Kermit Erasmus and team mates celebrate their goal against Venda Football Academy during the Nedbank Cup last 16 match between Orlando Pirates and Venda Football Academy at Orlando Stadium on March 11, 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The hosts' patient build-up paid off midway through the first stanza after Erasmus broke the deadlock with a downward header from a cross by Hotto. Jose Riveiro's men gained control of the contest after that but they could not create clear-cut chances and settled for a narrow lead at the break. Venda were not sitting back as Thobo had a shot cleared off the line by Pirates and on a quick transition, the Soweto giants should have restored their lead with 20 minutes left after Thembinkosi Lorch raced through on goal and curled a shot over Ndlovu but his effort came off the frame of goal.
