Fallout from Mamelodi Sundowns defeat: Orlando Pirates suffer further setbacks

Orlando Pirates players Fortune Makaringe and Ntsikelelo Nyauza picked up their fourth bookings of the season in Downs' 3-0 league win over the Buccaneers at Orlando Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

As a result, both players will be handed a one-match ban for the accumulation of four yellow cards.

Nyauza and Makaringe will not be available for Pirates' match against Black Leopards at the Orlando Stadium, also on Wednesday.

Makaringe was the first of the pair to be booked, as he took out Sundowns wing-back Aubrey Modiba right on the touchline for what was a needless challenge on the half-hour mark.
