BackpageOrlando Pirates lost balls very cheaply, Tito was showboating unnecessarily and putting pressure on our defence. The Combination between Thabiso Sesane and Thapelo Xoki is very threatening, there’s no proper communication - Original Buccaneer
BackpagepixComedy of errors at the back in the second half, we need to rectify it ASAP as we’re entering a very crucial stage at this point in our season both locally and on the continent. But well-done Boys as we took a great step in defending our cup - Big Sithole
BackpageI am scared these guys will embarrass us in the derby guys, Chiefs can't match them - Akani Mathosi
BackpageA scrappy win for Pirates, the players were lazy with many mistakes, and I think their minds are on the derby next week. Buthelezi is inspired by Chipezeze, well than to him - House Plans
