Substitute Wayde Jooste silenced the Pirates crowd nine minutes from time when he strongly finished a low cross from former Bucs striker Tendai Ndoro on the right.

Ndoro’s ball caught the Pirates defence square and gave their goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands no chance of stopping it from kissing the roof of the net.

Played in a subdued atmosphere at a sparsely-filled Soweto arena that has a 40,000 capacity, Bucs laboured to one of their unconvincing displays. The first minutes of this game were dominated by the visitors, who pinned Bucs into their own half and took a few pots shots at Sandilands’ goal.Sydney Mahlangu/ BackpagePix
