Young Bucs blow opportunity

Orlando Pirates will have no one but themselves to blame after squandering an opportunity of moving to the top of the DStv Diski Challenge table.

The Buccaneers were held to a goalless draw by plucky Marumo Gallants at Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto. Pirates went to this match as favourites to get all three points to enhance their chances of winning the league.

However, Gallants had different plans displaying one of their best performance this season. Early in the game Pirates were put under immense pressure by Gallants. Nevertheless, they were able to contain the pressure and did not crack. They then regrouped to play their normal football and dominated Gallants.

They created numerous chances but could not find the back of the net as Gallants goalkeeper Bareng Ledwaba fought tooth and nail to keep a clean sheet on the day. Mehluleli Maphumulo, Mohau Nkota and Sonwabo Khumqlo had their fair share of chances but could not use them.
