Mabasa now has seven goals in eight appearances in all competitions since being recalled by Pirates from a loan spell at Moroka Swallows in the January transfer window. Buccaneers head coach Jose Riveiro will be faced with an interesting dilemma when Evidence Magopa returns from injury. Sipho Chaine also did very well to save from Kagiso Malinga, but it was Pirates who scored a third, Mofokeng sliding in Dlamini, who beat Mlungwana at his near post.It could have got worse for Arrows just before half time, as Patrick Maswanganyi’s poor first touch actually took him a way from goal, but Mlungwana still raced off his line and brought down the Bafana attacker.

Dlamini and Mofokeng then both put chances to grab their braces inches off target, as the Buccaneers continued to run riot, Timm conducting the play superbly from central midfield.
