The Buccaneers are now just a single point ahead of second-placed Sundowns, but have played a game more and could see The Brazilians take over in top spot before the final round of matches next weekend, taking the championship out of their hands.
The Buccaneers are now just a single point ahead of second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, but have played a game more and could see The Brazilians take over in top spot before the final round of matches next weekend, taking the championship out of their hands.
Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic went with the same starting XI that did duty in the 1-0 away victory over Maritzburg United 10 days previously. The match kicked off 15 minutes late as fans streamed into the stadium, but when it did, Pirates made the worst possible start. Pirates pressed hard for the equaliser and it arrived on 15 minutes, Lorch slipped into space in the box and he provided a neat finish past an exposed Leeuwenburgh.
The first half ended with the scores level, but Pirates unable to turn their ball possession superiority into goals.
