WATCH: A goal and an assist for Orlando Pirates loanee Gilberto as Petro de Luanda edge closer to fourth successive Girabola league title

Orlando Pirates signed Gilberto before the start of the current season but loaned the forward back to his former club Petro Atletico in January.

It was after the 24-year-old struggled for game time at Pirates, but he has not revived himself back home.

That includes him scoring and grabbing an assist against Académica do Lobito in Petro's 3-0 win on Sunday.

It remains to be seen whether Gilberto will be recalled by Pirates after his good loan spell in Angola.

But that depends on him fitting into the plans of the incoming coach, who will replace Jose Riveiro, who seemed not to have full faith in him.

The arrival of Angolan legend Flavio Amado at Petro is expected to have an impact on Gilberto's game.

Just like the Premier Soccer League, the Angolan Girabola is about to be concluded and Petro are likely to be crowned champions - a fourth consecutive league title.

After that, Gilberto will turn his attention to his Pirates future ahead of next season.
