Missed chances and a gritty, fighting performance from Baroka FC saw Orlando Pirates having to settle for a 0-0 DStv Premiership draw at Orlando Stadium on Thursday night.

Bucs owned the opening half and rifled multiple shots at goal, Baroka goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke standing firm.

Pirates' signs of form have come in stages. After a battling start and the adjustment from Josef Zinnbauer to co-coaches Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids, they stabilised gradually with a win and four draws in five league and cup matches, and then three wins a defeat and a draw from the next five. The side on form and running out on their smooth Orlando home turf came out a whirlwind of bewildering movement and class touches that overwhelmed everyone in Baroka except Masuluke in an opening half-hour where it was remarkable that Bucs could not score.

Ben Motshwari's drive was fisted away by Masuluke. From Makaringe's well-shaped cross Peprah eluded marker Phelelani Shozi getting up powerfully, but directed his header over.
