Pirates grinded out a win against Chippa at home after a pretty rough first half, where they couldn't break through. The Buccaneers finally cracked the defense when Evidence Makgopa scored off the bench, then Oswin Appollis sealed it late for a 2-0 result. The win puts them level with Sundowns at the top of the table.
Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou switched things up at halftime and it worked out. Relebohile Mofokeng got back into the starting lineup and caused problems with his speed. Chippa sits dead last after their eighth loss and they're struggling hard to get out of the relegation zone.
Defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi didn't play because he's apparently close to joining the Chicago Fire in MLS. The backline held up fine without him, though, and goalkeeper Sipho Chaine made some clutch saves when Chippa tried pushing back.
