Teko Modise on Orlando Pirates: I foresee a good season

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Teko Modise thinks the Buccaneers could end up challenging for more silverware after their triumph over Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8 final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening.

Bucs suffered an early setback when the Free State team took the lead through Siphelele Luthuli after just three minutes played in Durban.

Then, after 23 minutes, there was another blow for the Soweto side when holding midfielder Thabang Monare was forced off injured.

He was replaced by Thembinkosi Lorch, who proved to be the difference as he got Bucs back on the front foot; the Sea Robbers equalising in the 33rd minute through Deon Hotto before Lorch got the winner from the penalty spot early in the second half.
