That is all folks, thank you for Choosing Sport24 to catch this Absa Premiership encounter between Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City.

Enjoy the rest of you evening!

19 Sep 2018

The draw sees Pirates move ahead of Chiefs in third place while City move one place up to 11th position.

19 Sep 2018

Pirates maintained their possession in the second-half but in the 69th minutes Patosi pulled of a half-volley before getting his second courtesy of free-kick intended for Mthembu to tap in only for the striker to slip the ball pass the Pirates defence and 'keeper. 

19 Sep 2018

The Buccaneers started off the encounter with great intensity which saw them take the lead through Mulengu and Maela. However, the last 15 minutes of the first-half saw City crawl back and show grit of wanting to get a goal or two back.

19 Sep 2018

82' Micho spoke about complacency after their victory on Saturday against SuperSport ... so the scoreline right now after such a strong start ... he was right!

19 Sep 2018

80' You have to say that the last 50/60 minutes of the match, City have slowly dug deep and show that they can climb back into the match.

19 Sep 2018

From a free-kick on the left flank, Patosi drills in a low cross towards a charging Mthembu who then leaves it to hit the back of the net passing two Pirates defenders along with the 'keeper. 

19 Sep 2018

76' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

65' Mlambo finding enough space on the edge of the box wihis is congested with blue players and pulls the trigger only for Leeuwenburgh to get a palm on it.

19 Sep 2018

62' Pule is replace with Memela coming on

19 Sep 2018

57' City have a free-kick in a dangerous position and Links and Patosi step up.

Patosi is the one who strikes the ball past the wall butthe keeper does well to control it in the corner.

19 Sep 2018

54' CHANCE! Norodien nearly close with his effort from inside the box. Angry at himself for not putting that in the back of the net.

19 Sep 2018

51' City giving it ago but losing balls from simple passing mistakes as Dove's return ball to Links is blocked by a Pirates player ...

19 Sep 2018

48' Pirates continue where they left off. They make their way into the City box with good work from Lorch and Matlaba. The final header is just off target.

19 Sep 2018

45' Second-half is underway ... 

19 Sep 2018

45' HALF-TIME

19 Sep 2018

42' A bit of improvement as Kwanda Mngonyama has since taken charge of the City defence.

19 Sep 2018

38' Mulenga receives another long lofted ball in the City penalty area and he wins a corner. This time City clear the corner.

19 Sep 2018

36' Norodien not hiding his frustration with the referee's decision as he is denied a corner in what looks like a clear deflection of Maela.

19 Sep 2018

33' Pressure continuing to come from Pirates with Lorch, Pule, Mako and Mulenga doing the most so far. Applying enough pressure on City's defence while their movement inbetween the gaps have been catching City off guard.

19 Sep 2018

30' City too often taking the ball out wide with either Links or Norodien but both players get knocked off the ball fairly or run out of steam with no support. 

19 Sep 2018

27' Mpontshane! What a save as he knocks away a dangerous cross from Patosi that was screaming to be headed.

19 Sep 2018

24' Pirates have had seven shots at goal with four hitting the target while City have had two attempts on bullseye. 

19 Sep 2018

22' What I have noticed is that Pirates have a good balance between attack and defence with City struggling to break down their accurate passing. 

19 Sep 2018

20' Pirates with 63% of the possession 

19 Sep 2018

Innocent Maela heads home from a corner kick. City failing to deal with the clearance and Buccaneers have a cushion lead now. 

19 Sep 2018

15' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

19 Sep 2018

11' City looking rattled at the moment. Lacking leadership out on the field. Need to string along a few good passes to gain confidence on the ball.

19 Sep 2018

An incredible long ball sent from Lorch out to a chasing Mulenga, who then brings the ball down magnificently before knocking it beyond Leeuwenburgh's reach. 

Sizzling stuff from the Bucs!

19 Sep 2018

8' GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!

19 Sep 2018
