Orlando Pirates ended their 2024/25 Premier Soccer League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Magesi FC at the Orlando Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Sea Robbers opened the scoring in the seventh minute courtesy of Patrick Maswanganyi before Edmore Chirambadare responded in the 32nd minute to ensure Dikwena Tsa Meetse collected a point. It was the Buccaneers' third draw in four outings after the exit of Jose Riveiro; the Soweto giants have won just once.
The result means Bucs have ended the season with 61 points, 12 less than champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Have a look at what the fans said after the midweek game.
At least Bucs aren't fighting for top 8
If Mandla Ncikazi becomes the Orlando Pirates' head coach next season, they will call us Draw FC – Locrecia Mologadi
Coach Mandla Ncikazi is slowly turning the Sea Robbers into Kaizer Chiefs – Phinda Persuval Mrdamngud Mavuso
At least we were not fighting to qualify for the top 8. But it seems Ncikazi is using Nabi's ingredients – Mpho Gift
Jose Riveiro could have lost the match, give that man a 5-year contract. We can donate that one point to Number nine, we don't need it – Seeta
This is the team that was once number 1 in the league after seven games, what a shame – Ramoshaba Daniel Tebogo
Ncikazi is a good coach, just needs time to completely finish Bucs
So I hope they permanently make Ncikaziola their head coach next season. Comedy galore – Mandla Malandela
Pirates are just testing their young players, Cocomelons, now for the upcoming season. What makes me laugh is that, in all these draws of late, Chiefs haven't managed to get the number of number of points Pirates have; that is really funny – Nhlanhla Sotcha
I told my fellow supporters that Sundowns won the league with four matches remaining, this Pirates will not even get to 64 points. And here we are – Chiya Simphiwe
Ncikazi is a good coach, he just needs enough time to finish Pirates completely – Banele Makunga
I thought Mamelodi Sundowns were weakening teams now, why can't they beat these weak teams? – Kgosi Katleho Seaga
