Leeuwenburgh, though, had to act swiftly to ensure Pirates’ did not double their advantage shortly before halftime when another sweeping ball from Jooste rattled City’s defence. The lanky Dutchman raced off his line to launch his body full throttle at the ball that was just outside his box, and fortunately for Leeuwenburgh it stuck between his legs inches before Vincent Pule could intercept the pass.
A man down and a goal down, City were certainly starting to feel the strain and were beginning to leave more and more open spaces for Pirates to exploit. It was certainly evident during the second half with Pirates forcing City to relinquish their early high press and lay back a bit more in a bid to limit the damage.
This resulted in a couple of chances with firstly Gabandinho Mhango firing straight at Leeuwenburgh shortly after the restart before Dzvukamanja could have doubled his personal and team’s tally in the 55th minute. Fortune Makaringe had forced Leeuwenburgh off his line to make another good save, only for the ball to rebound into the path off Dzvukamanja, who had his shot saved off the line.
And the chances kept coming as Pirates grabbed the game by the scruff – with Zakhele Lepasse also failing to kill off City in the 85th with Leeuwenburgh once again keeping his team in the contest with another good save.An early red card for Fagrie Lakay spoilt the game plan for the Citizens. The Buccaneers come out victorious against City after a fierce encounter 🤝
