Orlando Pirates might have been frustrated at their high rate of draws in the opening half of the season, but slowly the gameplan of their coaching duo has shown signs of coming together, including in Saturday's 2-0 DStv Premiership win against TS Galaxy.

Bucs went to their halfway 15th game with a performance of such precision, and more than a hint of style, that it would certainly have buoyed the squad and coaches Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids that the Buccaneer ship is finally finding the correct course after a battling start to the campaign.

Consistency in line-ups and trusting the process are paying off for Bucs, who have lost just twice in the opening half of the season, and are showing signs of working out the formula of turning draws into victories. The Soweto giants took the lead through a goal from nothing. Paseka Mako’s cross in a static situation picked out the run alone, free of marker Ethan Brooks, on the right of Shandu to force a stop from Marlon Heugh with a close volley. The rebound squirted to the right where the alert Shandu threaded a finish through a needle from a tight angle.

Ghanaian Peprah’s class touches have been the reason he has started a string matches even though he has not scored. Back from the break, Hotto’s attempted chip was intercepted and fell to Peprah on the right, whose clever touchback in across the face found Hotto in the centre again — the same combination who had pried Galaxy open for the first goal. Hotto laid off to Makgaka next to him, who had an easy finish.
