'Orlando Pirates are playing like a championship team! Relebohile Mofokeng just booked his ticket to AFCON, but Patrick Maswanganyi and Nkosinathi Sibisi will not smell Morocco; Kaizer Chiefs supporters are blaming Irvin Khoza for this win' - Fans

By picking up yet another win, the Sea Robbers are building up perfect momentum for the Carling Knockout Cup final against Marumo Gallants. Against Durban City, players showed individual brilliance and team brilliance, a testament that Abdeslam Ouadou's rotation policy could be working. Although they started the season struggling, the Sea Robbers have made their way to the top of the Premier Soccer League standings and are now sending a clear signal that they are serious title contenders.

Relebohile Mofokeng, Oswin Appollis, and Patrick Maswanganyi displayed high-level performance, and this could boost their chances of going to Morocco.

They are all in Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana preliminary squad for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals, and their expectation is that they will make the cut when the final 23-man team is named.

On December 6, the Buccaneers have a date with destiny again as they are set to face Gallants in the Carling Knockout Cup final in Polokwane. A chance for them to win the second domestic trophy after defending the MTN8. 

Now, after the 2-0 win over Durban City, GOAL takes a look at how the fans reacted. As Pirates supporters celebrated the victory, they also laughed at Kaizer Chiefs, who are yet to win a game in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage after two rounds.
