Orlando Pirates left it late to snatch a 1-0 win over Black Leopards in a Premier Soccer League encounter played at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday.
Going into the encounter, the contrast between the two sides saw hosts Leopards amongst the bottom three teams in the league and desperate for three points, while the Buccaneers are late title hopefuls.
The opening half saw the hosts enjoying the better chances between the two sides and forced Wayne Sandilands into an acrobatic one handed save to deny Edwin Gyimah from point-blank rank range.
In the second half, both sides had chances to snatch the win, but it was a Thabiso Mokoena own-goal in added time that handed the Buccaneers the three points.
