The 27 year-old Mabasa fired home from close range to grab his fifth league goal and eighth in all competitions since re-joining Pirates.

AmaZulu's Abubaker Mobara was controversially sent off early in the game.Tshegofatso Mabasa was the match-winner for Orlando Pirates as they edged out AmaZulu 1-0 in a DStv Premiership clash at Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening.

This was a game marred by controversy, however, as AmaZulu defender Abubaker Mobara was controversially sent off in the 22nd minute for a challenge on Patrick Maswanganyi. In the 22nd minute AmaZulu were put on the back foot as referee Cedric Muvhali dished out a red card to Mobara, even though the Usuthu man appeared to win some of the ball in a tackle on Maswanganyi.Mobara was clearly incensed, and the decision can only have added fuel to the fury of AmaZulu, who felt they were already hard done by in the 4-2 Nedbank Cup defeat by Pirates last weekend.
