00:00So this is a fourth meeting between the sides this season as we get underway.
00:07Pirates have triumphed each time that they've crossed paths this campaign including a...
00:12So it is left for Lecay and his low efforts is straight at Ladler.
00:31As the ball has worked out here to Mahao Nkota, header away.
00:37He's back with Nkota now and he squeezes in yet another cross.
00:40Mbasa look to help make sure that they do overloads on the side because they're playing three.
00:45So he forces Mobi now to be wing back to defend with two, to defend those two.
00:49Mbata! Chance from range along with Dion Hato does have the most long-range goals
00:55in the Betway Premiership this season but forced to...
01:02So in from Lecay.
01:03They'll get an opportunity now to cross again.
01:08Ups for the pass, Keenan Aya.
01:14Mabwe scoops it in.
01:16A strong flick of the neck but off the mark from the Congolese Christian Saile.
01:23And I'm sure this is the game that they can do so much via via set piece as well.
01:28But you look at this cross, I think Saile there was a little bit offside.
01:32Yeah.
01:32You look at the game they played against Stellenbosch, especially in the second half,
01:35the amount of crosses that they were, you know, putting inside the box.
01:37You know, Oscar Reen, I think, made crucial, crucial saves for Super Sport not to get points.
01:44So I thought maybe they'll continue.
01:46Mbasa with a little flick.
01:50Dion Hato racing to keep this alive and he has done.
01:55Showed too much of the tire and then immediately gets it back.
01:57Mbasa!
01:58Tight angle denied by Banjoa.
02:02Using his body well.
02:04And great job there from Banjoa making himself big to try and deny Mbasa from scoring.
02:10But I thought in that challenge as well from Mbasa, I thought it was an easy, easy challenge.
02:17But there's an opportunity as well.
02:18Look at Mbasa turning for Shire, knowing exactly where the goalposts are.
02:22And also the persistent result from Dion Hato making sure that he follows that counter press,
02:28wins the ball back.
02:30And then Mbasa making himself big.
02:32One interesting element of Orlando Park's season is that they've scored 40 goals.
02:39The second most in the league.
02:41What the form is, right?
02:42You do always find space and time within whatever team that you may face.
02:46And you always feel like you have a goal in you.
02:48This looks more promising from Super Sport United.
02:50Some intricate short passing.
02:53Opened up some space on the flank.
02:56And the Pirates looking to smother them here.
02:59Oh, it's broken kindly and been blazed over.
03:03That's possibly the best opportunity of the match so far.
03:08It is the best opportunity so far.
03:09And that's the right man that you want to find him inside the box.
03:12We spoke about him earlier.
03:13That he needs to make those runs inside the box.
03:15But there he went for power using lace.
03:18I'm suggesting possibly maybe could have used an inside foot with his left.
03:22Trying maybe to squeeze it in because there was a tackle coming in.
03:24But he needs to make the face.
03:26It's the two first division side to face off first in the promotion relegation playoffs.
03:34Strong start here from Super Sport United.
03:36This is looking good.
03:37Oh, wow.
03:38What a crucial intervention there from Bokazi position himself.
03:42Let's look at this one from the early opening stages of this first period.
03:47I can see that it's Sailor using his body very well.
03:50Oh, yeah, yeah.
03:52I did think it was Mabu initially, but it rolls past him for Keen and Aya.
03:57Yeah.
03:57And also a slave as well from Bogaz as well.
03:59You know, using his quick fit.
04:01Look at how he shuffles.
04:02Goes back, goes back, looking at the ball, putting his body on the line.
04:05Great defending there for me.
04:07One win in November of 2014, because they've got 10 years without winning away.
04:17Yes, it's like that makes the challenge on Sailor and has come off a little worse for wear.
04:29Oh, it would be horrible if he were to suffer an injury.
04:33I think it's just a coming together.
04:36Yeah, the knees, I think it's...
04:54Nice.
04:55This player is up for Salete.
04:59About to push on.
05:04The ball from Banil Shandu.
05:05He's found.
05:06It's a Kvaz Mabasa.
05:09Mabasa's ball for Nkota.
05:13Mbanja offers line promptly.
05:15Makes himself big.
05:18And he thwarts Nkota.
05:20Yeah, that's a really, really good move from this man to be able to make himself big.
05:24But good play as well.
05:25Good pass as well from Mabasa.
05:26A good one from Nkota.
05:29Yes, Mbanja making himself big.
05:30I think that's to that one.
05:33That's an 80 chance as well, you're rightfully saying it on his left.
05:41But the great run as well from Nkota to spot the space just behind Hestriyo and Sanoka.
05:48But also because it's on his weaker foot as well.
05:50Yeah, it is.
05:51And it made it difficult for Nkota to be able to clear that away.
06:00Nkota to be able to clear that away.
06:09Nkota to be able to clear that away from Nkota to be able to clear that away from Nkota.
06:19Nkota to be able to clear that away from Nkota, he pushed it onto his left.
06:21Nkota got stuck!
06:22Nkota and then he pushed it on his left.
06:23Nkota got stuck!
06:25Orlando Pirates and they're really good about the good work from Karim Kim Guedi, the sub.
06:34Yeah, we spoke about his creativity that is needed into this team and that's exactly what
06:38he did.
06:39There in Kota finding himself in an onside where Sanoka actually played him on, but also
06:43very clever there from Kota as well, cutting in, making sure that he just sneaked here
06:47away.
06:48Majo, he talked to possibly, maybe it's covered, but that is clever from Kota.
06:53And whenever you play as a lopsided winner, you know, those are the chopper of opportunities
06:58that you need.
06:59You just cut in here, find yourself space and time using the body, using the defenders as
07:03well.
07:04Look at how clever he is, just playing it in between the legs of a defender.
07:07And it's the legs of Baliti who had kept him relatively quiet until this point, but in
07:13the end, it's Kota has the lossy in a week's time and then there's still the outstanding
07:18fixture between Super Sports United and Lamont for Golden Arrows, but no one is any the wise
07:23player.
07:24Ah, that's a fairly tame effort from Vincent Pule.
07:30Didn't have a lot of pressure, Bandili Shandu today, 94% pass accuracy.
07:38A lovely little bit of skill and that was a very necessary intervention from Lletchweil.
07:56Still pirates have it.
07:58The flag stays down.
07:59The tight angle I think might have been an attempt on goal.
08:05There are two players trying to avail themselves.
08:11There's a shot from Radio Pane.
08:12Yeah.
08:13Completely.
08:14Straight down the middle.
08:15He's been so dangerous since arriving on the park.
08:18Gregor's ball in.
08:19The Ghanaian substitutes.
08:20Love.
08:21Finding Pule out wide.
08:22Love.
08:23Oh, he struck the upright.
08:24Oh, they've come ever so close to equalizing here.
08:29They really did it with Sonoka bringing the ball in.
08:30Look at Moby there finding himself free inside the box.
08:34And that's the follow up there from Rubla there using stats.
08:35But you're expecting Super Sport to have started playing like this with the balls inside the box.
08:44well they've come ever so close to equalizing here
08:49they really did with sonoka bringing the ball in look at movi there finding himself free inside the
08:54box and that's the follow-up there from rovler there using stats but you're expecting super
09:01sport to have started playing like this with the balls inside the box but yet again
09:05two dangerous players that just came on as substitution i'm sure they could have
09:10caused more problems inside the box now it's shandu who gets the end of rovler's boot but
09:16it's shandu who actually gets this away from danger good work he's down the land of pirates
09:24continue on for the time being and they might conjure a chance here they do and they've missed
09:32well inexplicably celepe has put it this is how close the pirates came to uh getting a second and
09:42putting the game to bed
