Orlando Pirates missed a host of chances as they entered the halftime break still deadlocked against Chippa United.

Pirates fought hard in the dying minutes and Pule came close to equalising in stoppage time with a thumping volley that was brilliantly parried over the crossbar by Kazapua, as Klate's men held on to their first win of the season and their first victory over the Buccaneers since 2016. Jose Riveiro's charges continued to dictate terms and Hotto had a big chance ten minutes before the halftime break after a through ball by Lorch but he dragged his shot wide of the far post with only goalkeeper Lloyd Kazapua to beat. The hosts got off to a quick start as Peprah had a chance to break the deadlock on ten minutes after a good delivery by Thembinkosi Lorch but he guided his header just wide of the far post

Following the move of Jele's former Pirates teammate Ntsikelelo Nyauza to Richards Bay FC over the weekend, and after ex-Kaizer Chiefs striker Bernard Parker ...

Meanwhile, Magents, as Jele is known in football circles, was spotted among several local football legends at an event in Limpopo over the weekend, though sources have confirmed that the experienced centre-back was making a guest appearance and honouring the invitation with no intentions of hanging up his boots. Jele, 35, is adamant that he still has a few years of topflight football in his legs, which is why he turned down a job opportunity at the Buccaneers in a non-playing role. Jele has been linked with a move to Royal AM though indications are that the KwaZulu-Natal outfit has also been assessing other options to strengthen their central defence, as reported by the Siya crew.

It remains to be seen whether Royal AM remain in the market to snap up the services of former Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele.

Everyone at Orlando Pirates Football Club would like to express the enormous gratitude to Happy Jele and wish him the very best of luck for the future. Happy arrived from the amateur club Walter Stars in 2006 as a lanky and unassuming 19 year old. During these deliberations, which spanned a three-week period, the Club discussed various job options available to the long-term serving defender in a non-playing capacity. This marks the end of Happy Jele’s momentous career with us. The Pirates leader has enjoyed a remarkable career with the Buccaneers, which has spanned 16 years and included over 400 appearances since 2006. But I’m hoping that one day everything is going to go well for me.”

Jose Riveiro has stated why he is not concerned about sending a message to the club's supporters, instead, explaining what the Soweto giants need to fix ...

“We need to optimise what we have, train as hard as possible and try to grow the level of confidence of the players,” added Riveiro, who insisted Pirates need to work on their finishing. “If I have to say something to the fans, it would be just to support the team as they need it; we need the push and support in difficult moments like this one, but it is only today, but tomorrow it’s a new day we need to push again. “It is not my concern [to send a message]… the fans are smart to understand what we tried to do against Chippa in order to get a positive result,” the Bucs coach told the media after the shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Chippa United on Sunday afternoon at Orlando Pirates in Soweto.

Orlando Pirates frustrate. They should have beaten Chippa 7-0 but lost 1-0. Here are two players Bucs need.

The team needs a fully direct players in the 8 and 10 positions. You know the player who picks up the ball to bomb for the goal with a shot or a run? 100%. The deadline date is 22 September. No is the answer. Most times there was never a need for the pass in the first place. It is a hugely frustrating issue to see an entertaining side waste vast attacking spaces like this for so long.

Chippa United head coach Daine Klate has revealed what he told his players at halftime of their clash against Orlando Pirates.

I think in the end we'll deserved three points for us," he added. I can't ask for more from the players, so all compliments to them. "The build-up to the goal for me, Aviwe [Mqokozo] there, he's clever he creates a corner out of nothing.

Chippa United coach Daine Klate has paid tribute to his troops, hailing their positive attitude following their 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates.

The players also feed off the passion. The Chilli Boys have not won a trophy since their formation in 2010. The build-up to the goal for me was great. Klate has so far had a modest start to life as Chilli Boys coach. It was a fantastic attitude from the boys. The Banda goal was unbelievable.
