Orlando Pirates and Royal AM played out to a largely uninspiring 1-1 DStv Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium on Thursday night.
As a result of this share of the spoils, fourth-placed Royal AM missed out on the opportunity to move to second spot on the standings behind Mamelodi Sundowns and they also missed out on what could have been their fifth win in six matches.
The match got off to a good start with both teams creating goalmouth chances and referee Luxolo Badi issuing a yellow card for Royal AM defender Tshepo Rikhotso in the opening minute. During the frightening opening minutes, unmarked Pirates striker Tshegofatsho Mabasa missed a sitter after he received a defence splitting pass from Fortune Makaringe who benefited from a misplaced pass by Nyame.
Royal AM opened the scoring after 32 minutes when Letsoalo stole the ball from experienced Pirates captain Happy Jele before supplying the pass to Mashiane who put it into the empty net.
