DStv Premiership: Orlando Pirates Continues Firing Blanks in the League, Settles for Point in Goalless Draw

• Orlando Pirates continued fumbling around in the DStv Premiership as it races towards a predictable conclusion
• The Buccaneers played out a disappointing 0-0 draw with Cape Town City at the Orlando Stadium on Wednesday
• The result denied the home team the opportunity to claim back second position, a result that will see incumbents Royal AM smile with glee

Pirates cannot be faulted for trying. They created plenty of opportunities to win the match three times over. Unfortunately, City goalkeeper Hugo Marques was in sensational form between the sticks for Eric Tinkler's men.

With this point, the visitors moved up to eight spot on the log. On the other hand, the home side remained in fourth place as they watch on as Sundowns runs off with the league title.

Pirates bossed proceedings in an action-packed first half, with both goalkeepers coming to the rescue for their respective teams. The match was characterised by the poor finishing that is an unmissable feature of the local game.

Zakhele Lepasa had a great chance to steal victory for Pirates two minutes from time after Terrence Dzvukamanja raced away from his marker out wide before squaring the ball for his teammate, but Keanu Cupido got back to make a match-saving tackle.
