Zinnbauer: Lepasa has been hot and can score goals for Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer believes Zakhele Lepasa has raised his hand to be in the team after struggling for game time in the first round of the season.

The 23-year-old came from the bench and netted the winner against SuperSport United as Pirates collected maximum points with a 2-1 win.

Zinnbauer said he has been watching the strikers closely in recent weeks, and Lepasa showed the willingness to break into the team by performing at training.
