'Orlando Pirates have won against Polokwane City, yes, but nothing can change that Mamelodi Sundowns are PSL champions! Mbekezeli Mbokazi will be in 2025 Afcon with Bafana Bafana' - Fans

After beating MC Alger in the Caf Champions League, the Sea Robbers returned to PSL action and saw off their opponents.

Despite the confirmation that Jose Riveiro will be leaving his position as the head coach, Orlando Pirates fought hard to secure a 1-0 win over Polokwane City on Saturday.

The win, although some fans say it was scrappy, cut the points with Mamelodi Sundowns to 12, pointing to a potentially tight race towards the end.

Nkosinathi Sibisi scored the only goal in the match, which meant that the Bucs secured their third back-to-back win across all competitions.

Now, GOAL takes a look at how fans reacted to the slim win away from home.

    Play Tito no more

    Congratulations to the boys. My opinion is that, if we want to win this Caf, let's not play Tito (Patrick Maswanganyi). That boy will cost us big time. His fancy passes are unnecessary; rolling the ball to our goal post is unacceptable, especially when we're looking for a goal - Jingles Pereira

    Scrappy wins

    Wide gap?

    Gap still impossible to close... Seems like a permanent game. Maybe Sundowns should be allowed to play only 20 games a season in order to stop it. Even the deduction of points isn't doing you any good - Vuyosimawo

    Average performance

    How is Mosele better than Timm...? Mabasa is just adding numbers; he can't even compete with Makgopa. Average performance, but we'll take 3 points. Come Wednesday, I hope to see good performance, boys... - Andile Bonani

    Strikers needed

    We seriously need to hunt one or two strikers in the African continent and then work on grooming strikers. Even if it means we should hire a coach for strikers at the development level, let it be - Ingabadi
