Pirates vs SuperSport

SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates had to settle for a point each from their dull DStv Premiership encounter at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday night.

The Pirates technical team called on their trump cards with the match seemingly heading for a draw. Both sets of coaches would've been looking at their options on the bench, a hero to blow the game wide open. The imprint and influence of the Riveiro on Pirates appears to grow with each match and it was on show once more in this encounter as the Sea Robbers enjoyed 75% of first half possession.

Orlando Pirates dominated the majority of Sunday evening's 0-0 DStv Premiership draw against SuperSport United but could not bury their chances.

Pirates could not clear in their area allowing another Matsatsantsa replacement, Aubrey Ngoma, to square for Gabuza, who slipped on the ball with an open goal beckoning. Gabuza won a bouncing ball on the edge of the box allowing another SuperSport substitute, Iqraam Rayners, to control and strike wide. Soon after the break Goodman Mosele found Eva Nga in space on the left of the area to strike powerfully at Chigova and Pule, steaming in on the other side, hit the rebound wide.
