Orlando Pirates survived an anxious final 10 minutes at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday night to earn a 2-1 league win over relegation-threatened Free State Stars.
JOHANNESBURG –
With Stars happy to defend deep and to play on the counter, Pirates endured a frustrating first half as they battled to create any decent scoring chances. However, Pirates were to get the break they needed, a minute after the interval, when former Bucs defender Rooi Mahamutsa’s clumsy challenge on Memela resulted in a penalty. Nyatama stepped up to take responsibility and sent a crisp spot kick past Mbambo to put the Sea Robbers ahead.
