A very tough test for Jose Riviero's men as they had to dig deep to eventually get the goal after a well worked build up by Terrence Dzvukamanja.

With Pirates using the pace of Deon Hotto on the left hand side and Saleng on the right, Dan Malesela will certainly talk to his men to stop the flow from both flanks in the second half.

Meanwhile Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine has had little to worry about as his defence has been rock solid at the back.

More action to follow in the second half.
