‘We said Orlando Pirates will win PSL but we didn’t say the year! Ref tried to save them but Richards Bay refused’

Published on by

A late Lebone Seema strike wasn’t enough as Orlando Pirates were held to a 2-2 draw by Richards Bay on Friday night in the Premier Soccer League game staged at uMhlathuze Sports Complex.

Despite the many chances created by the Soweto giants, their atatckers were wasteful in front of the goal. The result basically means the Sea Robbers are now on 55 points, one less than leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who have a game in hand.

Here are the reactions from the supporters as sampled by Afrik-Foot.
