Pirates beat SuperSport to go top of the table

It’s certainly a day that former Bucs coach Muhsin Ertugral, who resigned immediately after Pirates suffered their heaviest league defeat in the Premier Soccer League era – a 6-1 humiliation by SuperSport United at the Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga –, regret the most.

This evening’s result is not surprising given the seriousness with which Pirates have started this 2020-21 campaign. There seem to be a never-die-spirit aplenty in this Bucs side. Saturday's encounter, Bucs’ five new signings that include Thulani Hlatshwayo, Deon Hotto, Thabang Monare, Wayde Jooste and goalkeeper Richard Ofori all started the match, and the way they clawed their way back after United had taken an early lead continued to show that Zinnbauer’s team could be on to something sweet this season.
