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.

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!
