Orlando Pirates and Bidvest Wits mostly cancelled each other out playing to a 0-0 Absa Premiership stalemate that had all the hallmarks of gritty Covid-19 football at Ellis Park on Saturday evening.
Both sides manufactured chances in a match-up that would have been considered flat in other circumstances‚ but which‚ as teams grind their way back to a level of fitness from five months inactive‚ in the current situation could be regarded as a fairly competitive encounter.
Early on Keegan Ritchie had space on the left for Wits to pick a spot but lifted a shot high with his preferred left foot. Pule got to a ball ahead of Goss near the right goal-line on the edge of the area‚ but could only steer into the side-netting from a tough angle with the keeper stranded. Wits continued to be the team on the front foot and should have scored inside the second minute from the restart as Zitha Macheke's cross from the right evaded the head of Ritchie and fell for Domingo‚ who swept across goal onto the upright.
