Relebohile Mofokeng scored an all-important goal as wasteful Orlando Pirates snatched a 1-0 win against a 10-man Magesi FC on Sunday at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
It was a vital win for the Buccaneers who kept tabs on leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and underlined their seriousness in their bid to challenge the defending champions for the PSL crown.
Despite the narrow win, the majority of the Sea Robbers faithful were not impressed by Patrick Maswanganyi who struggled to make an impact. Have a look at what they said despite the win.
Gilberto not a player of Pirates' calibre
Gilberto is not so much of a bad player but definitely is not of Orlando Pirates' calibre! He just can't fit in! – Nhlakanipho Marlo
It's one of those games where three points is all that matters. Not a good display, as we expected especially after Magesi went one man down. Three points in the bag and we move – Nonhlanhla Dube
In my opinion, this season, we are capable of beating any team, especially Mamelodi Sundowns. For the first time in many years, we are also the favorite to win the league – Lonathemba Zuma
Gilberto Viera, haters are going to hate but this guy is pure gold covered in sand – Wiseman Lungelo Nhlabathi
Jomo Sono was right about Patrick Maswanganyi. We couldn't dominate 10-man Magesi after his introduction – Tman Mohwang
Chiefs busy cooking a stone
Kaizer Chiefs are busy cooking a stone, three points in the bag, happy people – Serves Mkula
The fact that the team is able to grind out results even on the worst day is an improvement that needs to be applauded. It's not always easy to give a 5-star performance week in week out – Tshepo Maada II
Your favorite Tito is back and it was hard to watch Pirates play. Losing possession as always and we couldn't even dominate a 10-man team – Karabo Mpolokeng
Patrick Maswanganyi needs to go on loan, let him go, that is sh*t! We can't tolerate this now, no player is bigger than the team – Erick Kiyalo
Pain went to those comparing Relebohile Mofokeng with Mfundo Vilakazi who dribbles grass – Sphesihle – Journalist Of Bucs
