Stellenbosch forward Iqraam Rayners scored five goals in the race between his club and Orlando Pirates to finish South African Premiership runners-up and book a CAF Champions League place.

Pirates triumphed 4-0 at Royal AM on Sunday, a day after Rayners' record-equalling feat gave hosts Stellenbosch a 5-0 victory over Polokwane City.

Second-placed Stellenbosch, 10 points behind Sundowns having played three matches more, lead Pirates by three points with each club having five fixtures to play. The 28-year-old, who returned to the western Cape club last season after an unsuccessful spell with SuperSport United, scored the only goal of the first half on 17 minutes.

A controversially awarded penalty, which Patrick Maswanganyi converted on 29 minutes in Pietermaritzburg, set up Pirates for an ultimately comfortable victory over lowly Royal.
