Pirates failed to outplay ten man of United

Another draw for MTN 8 semi finals

Orlando Pirates faied to outplay ten man of Supersport United this evening at Peter Mokaba Stadium on the first leg of the  second leg.

Pirates started the first half with a very high mood, playing Supersport United half ground. However, matsatsantsa’s young goalkeeper Ronewn Williams was not doing any fovours .

Bennie McCarthy made an attempt but was blocked by Fransman’s hand, however the referee denied them a penalty. Few minutes later matsatsantsa was also denied a penalty from the some incident.

Manti Moholo and Andile Jali were controlling the midfield, but the striker did not utilize all the chances.

The Tshwane based club came back to win the possession in the midfield. They tried to penetrate The Buccaneers defense, but it was two organised for them to break it down.

United midfield Edwin Gyima got a red card few minutes before the end of first half.

Matsatsantsa stared the second half with one man down. They stayed at the back and aimed at attacking the Soweto giants on counter-attack.

Pirates used that at their advantage and put much more pressure but United was well organised at the back to let anything pass through.

Segolela and Myeni came in and change the mood of the game. The Buccaneers  started to attack from the wings by the new two man on the field, but still, Williams and his back four stood up to deny The Buccaneers to score even a single goal and end the game on 0-0 draw.

A well-structured United was all over in the Pirates way to score.


The ill-discipline of Mahamutsa caused him a place to play in the next league game against the same team after he was given a red card.
