Ten-man Orlando Pirates grit out tough draw against Stellenbosch marc_strydom
In a game of swinging fortunes Waseem Isaacs’s deflected strike put Stellenbosch ahead in just the second minute. Deon Hotto’s expert free-kick in the 18th brought Bucs back, but Ntsikelelo Nyauza needlessly earned Pirates a red card in the 40th.
Stellenbosch only ended 14th in 2020-21 because they spurned so many leads and chances in games they dominated. They are tough to beat in the character of coach Steve Barker, the 1990s no-prisoners midfielder for Wits University. Stellenbosch got a break moments after the kickoff. They won the ball in midfield and surged forward, Junior Mendieta providing the touch to tee up Waseem Isaacs on the right outside the area.
Pirates seemed to have pried the momentum back, as Tlolane ran into space on the left and fed Gabadinho Mhango to touch onto Kabelo Dlamini to force a save from Langeveldt.
