Moroka Swallows dump reigning champions Orlando Pirates out of the MTN8 at the quarterfinal stage.
Moroka Swallows striker Rudzaigh Gamildien put the disappointment of a failed move to Kaizer Chiefs behind him as he netted a first half brace on Saturday to dump reigning champions Orlando Pirates out of the MTN8 at the quarterfinal stage.The Buccaneers pulled one back through Kabelo Dlamini’s penalty but couldn’t add to their tally as Josef Zinnbauer’s side endured a disappointing defeat in their opening match of the 2021/22 season.
Things went from bad to worse for the Buccaneers. A failed clearance by Pirates keeper Richard Ofori gifted Gamildien his second goal of the match with a shot from outside the box in the 23rd minute.The home side were awarded a penalty just before the 30th minute after Swallows ‘keeper Virgil Vries fouled Deon Hotto inside the box. Pirates striker Dlamini stepped up to take the penalty and managed to pull one back for the Buccaneers.
Swallows substitute Monnapule Saleng, who is on loan from Bucs, wasted a glorious opportunity after beating Pirates skipper Happy Jele for pace, but his intended cross for Gamildien inside the Bucs box was blocked on the hour mark.
