Pirates defender Olisa Ndah, however, was adjudged by referee Victor Hlungwani to have hauled down Khama Billiat inside the area in stoppage time, and Dolly made no mistake, adding a penalty to his strike three minutes into the second half that had given Chiefs the lead. Pirates had given new Ghanaian striker Kwame Peprah a first league start, with injuries ravaging their frontline, and he looked bright at times. In the 13minute, Peprah rose to meet a cross from Linda Mntambo, but the ball glanced off his forehead and didn’t hit the target.
Makaringe, meanwhile, came close again on the stroke of half time as he headed an Ntsako Makhubela cross just the wrong side of Akpeyi’s post. Pirates brought on Kabelo Dlamini for Makhubela on the hour mark as they looked for an equaliser, while attackers Tshegofatso Mabasa and Terrence Dzvukamanja came on in the 70th minute as part of a triple change.
