Pirates held to a 1-all draw by Stellies at home

JOHANNESBURG - Having a balanced squad on paper doesn’t necessarily guarantee a balanced team on match-day. Orlando Pirates are proof of that after they yet again squandered their lead to settle for a successive draw in the DStv Premiership.

Debutant Richard Ofori saved his team from the blushes on the stroke of half-time after winning a one-on-one duel against Du Preez. After beating the offside trap Du Preez only had Ofori to beat but he blasted his effort to the Ghanaian who had closed down the angle.
