Antonio van Wyk strikes as Stellenbosch down: A toothless Orlando Pirates started their DStv Premiership season on a disappointing note as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to a resilient Stellenbosch at Danie Craven Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday night.
Antonio van Wyk’s first-half goal was enough for the hosts to register a big victory against the Soweto giants who have been touted as one of the title contenders.
Pirates needed to make a strong start and set the tone for the season where they are expected to push and possibly even end Mamelodi Sundowns’ stranglehold on the league. This after they showed a glimpse that they have what it takes to challenge Sundowns after winning two cup trophies and ending as league runners-up last campaign.
Coach Jose Riveiro's side made interesting signings ahead of the new season, but it was only Patrick Maswanganyi who got the nod to start from the new players, as Katlego Otladisa played off the bench.Van Wyk scores the club’s first goal of the 2023/2024 season ✅
