The Buccaneers were also held back by the Siwelele side who hosted the Soweto giant at the Seisa Ramabodu Stadium on Wednesday night but Ndlovu’s strike secured three points for the visitors.
It was a tightly contested game with a total of 9 shots with 3 shots on target for the host while the visitors had a total of 8 shots with 2 shots on target. The Phunya Sele Sele side had 51% of the ball possession while the Sea Robbers held on to 49% possession in the game.
Despite the absence of the Pirates’ coach, and key players like Thulani Hlatshwayo and Gabandinho Mhango they were able to secure a win and they look forward to playing Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday at the MTN8 tournament.
