Orlando Pirates completed a week that no one will deny it belonged to them by beating Highlands Park 3-1 through two quick goals by Thembinkosi Lorch and Gabadinho Mhango before Paseka Mako competed the rout in the dying seconds of the first stanza at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday.

The win was a third successive at home in the Absa Premiership this season for Bucs and it came after enlisting the services of the German coach Josep Zinnbauer, who started the run in his debut match when Pirates beat Black Leopards 3-1 in what was the swansong league match of last year.

Mhango, who had come to this match having scored at least one goal in Bucs’ last seven matches including a hat-trick in the demolition of Polokwane City , was also given the easiest of finishes to take his league tally to 12 and two clear of those following in the league’s goal scorers’ chart. Substitute Mlungisi Mbunjana gave the visitors some glimmer of hope when he beat Bucs goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands with a long range shot 10 minutes from time.

Pitso Mosimane is right, showboating adds no value to gamesNKARENG MATSHE | The fact is showboating adds absolutely nothing to the game. It's meant to humiliate, mock and belittle. It doesn't belong in the professional game. Even more preposterous is the claim that it's our 'culture'. Nkareng areng tota? Nope! Reading this was a waste of my data. Who wrote this shitty article. This is not Spain this is South Africa, if you heared the cheers to Makaringes skill expression, you'd know that what entertains the fans. There_is_no_football_without_fans
