Orlando Pirates failed to strengthen their grip on second spot on the DStv Premiership table following a 1-1 draw against Royal AM on Wednesday afternoon. Read more ▶️
Pirates made a host of changes with teenager Relebohile Ratomo, Makhehleni Makhaula, Phillip Ndlondlo, Bandile Shandu, Fortune Makaringe and Kermit Erasmus getting the no, while former Buccaneers star Happy Jele was recalled to the Royal AM line-up.
Erasmus himself had the chance to make the opening minutes gone with a shot in the area following smart play, but his effort was cleared off the line by Jabulani Ncobeni. Mpoto nearly gifted the Buccaneers the lead with a loose ball after attempting a throw-out, but fortunately the Royal AM defenders reacted quickly and bailed him out.
Thwihli Thwahla looked to hit back immediately and were inches away as a long pass set Sedwyn George clear and level with Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine, who came out on top in the battle.
