SuperSport United vs Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates wrapped up their 2021-22 PSL campaign with a disappointing defeat to SuperSport United at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Monday evening.

Pirates were reduced to 10 players after Jele was shown a straight red card in the 66th minute having denied the Tshwane giants a clear goalscoring opportunity - pushing Gabuza who had been sent through on goal. Matsatsantsa did not take their foot off the pedal after doubling their lead as they continued to surge forward and Ofori produced two good saves to deny Thapelo Maseko. It was a match which saw the Buccaneers being reduced to 10 players following Happy Jele's dismissal as the Houghton-based giants failed to secure a top three finish and qualification for a Caf tournament for the first time since 2017 when they finished 11th on the PSL log.
