Orlando Pirates moved six points ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns in the SA Premiership title race on Saturday after a 2-1 home win over lowly Free State Stars.
But second-from-bottom Free State rallied to dominate the closing stages and gangling striker Eleazar Rodgers towered to score on 82 minutes and create a tense finish. The team have dedicated the rest of their league campaign to deceased teammate Sinethemba Jantjie, a 30-year-old winger who died in a car accident last week.
“Congratulations to my players for winning three league matches within eight days and now we face three ‘cup finals’ in the championship chase.” They host SuperSport United, Chippa United and Golden Arrows and visit three relegation-threatened sides, Baroka, Black Leopards and Free State.
