3 in 3 | Hotto answers big Lorch question
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - AUGUST 31: Deon Hotto of Orlando Pirates celebrates after scoring a goal during the MTN8, Semi Final, 2nd Leg match between Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City FC at Orlando Stadium on August 31, 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
If the side are to repeat or even better their exploits of last term, then the Namibian is certain to be a huge part of the 'festivities' as he seems to have continued from where he left off in the early stages of the current season. Goals, goals, goals is an element the 33-year-old is adding to his game, having netted a crucial strike in the second leg of the MTN8 semi-final against Cape Town City at Orlando Stadium on August 31, courtesy of a sublime free kick from distance.
With the Brave Warriors down 2-0 in added time, the former Bidvest Wits man took a free kick from range that landed in the top left corner and gave the goalkeeper no choice.The next big mission for the hard-running star and his club teammates was revenge against Jwaneng Galaxy in the first leg of the Champions League second preliminary round at Botswana's National Stadium on Saturday.
He gained possession of the ball just past the centre-line, passed to Patrick Maswanganyi, before embarking on a storming off-the-ball run towards the box. When 'Tito' fed him the return pass, there was only one possible outcome: goal.
