Pirates were unchanged from their thumping win over Royal AM, as Monnapule Saleng, Patrick Maswanganyi and Relebohile Mofokeng supported striker Zakhele Lepasa upfront.The Buccaneers eventually broke the deadlock midway through the first stanza after Lepasa tapped home a cut-back from Maswanganyi, who capitalized on a slip by Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya in the box.
Sekhukhune looked to combine more going forward after that and made a game from their midfield but they lacked the final product, with striker Chibuike Ohizu well marked by Tapelo Xoki and Nkosinathi Sibisi. Jose Riveiro's charges were a threat on transitions towards the end of the first stanza and should have been 2-0 up on the stroke of half-time but Lepasa was denied by the post twice through a deflected shot and a header in the same attack.Chaine, Xoki, Sibisi, Mako, Monyane, Monare, Ndlondlo, Saleng, Mofokeng, Maswanganyi, LepasaSekhukhune United:Subs:
