Monnapule Saleng ended Orlando Pirates’ three-match winless streak in the DStv Premiership when he scored a first-half brace to give his team a 2-0 win over Lamontville Golden Arrows at the Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu on Tuesday night.

The Buccaneers came to this match under immense pressure after scoring only one goal and earning two points in their past three matches, but Saleng gave his team a huge boost ahead of their second-leg MTN8 semifinal clash against Mamelodi Sundowns in Polokwane on Saturday.

Bucs’ second goal was mainly due to Arrows keeper Nkosingiphile Gumede failing to hold on to Saleng’s tame shot after he had again got a pass from Erasmus inside the area. Riveiro’s plan worked as Bucs created as many as 11 shots on goal in the first 45 minutes, with five on target, including the two that Saleng managed to bury.

Ndlondlo was unlucky again not to extend the Bucs lead at the start of the second period. This time the former Marumo Gallants player was denied by Gumede who parried his shot over the bar.
