Orlando Pirates' hopes of qualifying for the Caf Champions League suffered a major blow after a 1-0 loss to TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Sunday.
Masilake Phohlongo was the hero for the Rockets as he scored the only goal of the encounter in the first half and the Mpumalanga-based side was able to see out the match.
After the loss, the Bucs are fourth on the log with 46 points from 28 matches, four fewer than AmaZulu who are second and need just one win from the remaining two matches to seal the second position, and with that Champions League football.
