With the Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs looming, Orlando Pirates failed to get the much-needed morale booster they needed being held to a 0-0 DStv Premiership draw by Cape Town City at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The Buccaneers host Amakhosi for the third time in the last 18 months at this iconic venue due to Covid-19, where both will be going all out for three points in their battle for second place.
In the surprising and continued absence of Mhango, Ncikazi and Davids showed faith in the attacking prowess of Kwame Peprah, Deon Hotto and Kabelo Dlamini in their front line. Tinkler played this match with the tried and tested of Mkhize and Fielies in the heart of the defence, Thato Mokeke, Thabo Nodada and Tashreeq Morris anchoring the midfield and Fidel Ambina up front.
