Tshegofatso Mabasa, Goodman Mosele and Abel Mabaso helped Orlando Pirates maintain a promising turn towards form in the DStv Premiership as they collected their second successive success with a 3-1 away victory over Chippa United on Saturday.
After Phakamani Mahlambi gave Chippa the lead in the 12th minute at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha Pirates replied though strikes by Mabasa , Mabasa and Goodman Mosele in the 79th.
While Davids and Ncikazi will be happy with the two last team goals scored on Saturday via Mabasa and Mosele in the second half, they will still worry about the sloppy manner in which their charges started, allowing Chippa to take an early lead through Mahlambi after the defence failed to close down a simple attack down the right flank.
Sekotlong was the supplier of the final ball to Mahlambi, who opened the score with Bucs' sluggish defence unable to deal with Chippa’s direct attack. The home side should have gone to the break having regained their lead as Mahlambi had another opportunity to double his tally when he again linked up with Sekotlong. But the winger shot wide despite having plenty of room to place his shot into an empty net.
