Pirates needed the three points to stay in the race for a second spot, while home side Baroka are desperate to escape the dreaded axe and remain at the bottom of the table after this encounter. Bucs had a good chance to take the lead in the 22nd minute when Baroka lost the ball in a dangerous area but Siphesihle Ndlovu failed to punish the home side when he lobbed over the bar despite having time and space to do better. Fans and the social media administration of Baroka immediately took to Twitter to express their concern and best wishes for the player. Play was held up for almost 10 minutes with the game already in added time as Mako was attended to and removed from the field. An update from SuperSport TV after the game was that Mako had suffered a concussion and was being taken to hospital for assessment. Mako had chased a punt upfield and Baroka's Oscarine Masuluke, through no fault of his own, charged out to almost the centre circle and sprang to head the ball, the big goalkeeper's left knee connecting the head of the Pirates left-back.
