Josep Zinnbauer wins his first match as Pirates coach

Innocent Maela’s 22nd minute opening goal and Gabadinho Mhango’s second half brace was all that the Buccaneers needed to win their fifth league match, giving Zinnbauer a positive welcome to South African football after being appointed to replace stand-in coach Rulani Mokwena two weeks ago.

It was Kapinga again who created Leopards equalizer by last season top scorer Mwape Musonda on the hour mark before Mhango restored Bucs lead three minutes later. Television replays showed that the Leopards keeper had nothing to do with Mhango’s fall and his protest after Tom had pointed to the spot fell on deaf ears. It was a harsh way to concede for Leopards, who had come to this with just one point separating them from Bucs.

Bucs though still have a lot to do in the second half of the season next year as they remain 14 points adrift of the runaway leaders and bitter arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs, who will have a chance to stretch their lead when they visit Maritzburg United today.

Sorry l'm still not convinced, it's still easy to breach Pirates backline and still too many goals missed!

Bopha Buccaneer orlandopirates. Umuntu omusha! Our new Coach- JZ S'phithiphithi lead Us!

Team effort he cant take all the glory

He's JOSEF, NOT JOSEP. or just call him J.Z 😕
