After two tough fixtures on the road, Pirates needed a win to keep their CAF Champions League chances alive. Relebohile Mofokeng made it 2-0 following an excellent diagonal pass from Patrick Maswanganyi. The teenager displayed composure by rounding off the Arrows keeper and placing the ball in the net.
The in-form Bucs striker however did not have to wait long to grab his second, which came just six minutes after the break when he finished from close range, turning a superb cross from Thabiso Lebitso into the net“I don’t have enough words to describe how I’m feeling right now and the game we just managed to display for the people here. I mean we had to fix the mistakes we made in our past two games.
