The Buccaneers victory was made more sweeter by the other results by the other title chasers going their way.
With Memela starting his second match after a lengthy lay-off due to a knee injury, the Buccaneers moved to second-placed on the Absa Premiership table after winning their second successive league game 1-0 away to Golden Arrows at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on the west side of Durban on Saturday night.
Justin Shonga’s fifth goal of the season helped Pirates to keep their hopes alive with eight games to go for them. Memela provided the assist to Shonga in the 20th minute and the Zambian striker did brilliantly to carve out the space for himself before curling in the ball past a bemused Nkosingiphile Gumede in Arrows’ goals.
