Vincent Pule’s 52nd minute strike ensured Bucs win their fourth league match in a row as it proved enough to down a stubborn basement club AmaZulu, who would have been happy to escape with a point in Orlando on Saturday.
Bucs last tested defeat against log leaders Kaizer Chiefs in November and they’ve now gone eight match without a defeat, pushing themselves to be among the title contenders, albeit late after having an indifferent form in the league before the German born coach replaced caretaker coach Rulani Mokwena a few days before the end of last year.
Against an Usuthu side that was desperate to record their first victory this year to move off the bottom after collecting only one point from their previous four outings, Pirates started on a front foot pressing high up for an early goal. Pirates should have taken the lead though in the 18th minute when Lorch put Pule free with a defence splitting pass. The Pirates winger failed to beat Siyabonga Mbatha in Usuthu goals as the keeper did well to block the shot to safety. Pule was to redeem himself in the early stages of the second stanza, tapping home Lorch’s cross on the near post after catching Usuthu defence in slumber land.
Which title chase?
