SAB win again…but only just
Meanwhile, the Orlando Pirates SAB team registered their seventh consecutive victory in the league but it wasn’t all plane sailing as they had to come from behind not once but twice to beat feeder side Randburg 3-2 on Sunday.
Hosts Randburg looked to have finally found the medicine to halt the Pirates train in former Project X 2016 player, Wade Martin. The lanky utility man netted a brace for Randburg but his heroics would be dented by the relentless Buccaneers who responded with three goals of their own from Siphumelele Mbulu's excellent free kick and a brace from Grant Peters.
The win sees Pirates move to 21 points after seven games played.
Next up for the SAB team is an away match against SabeloSuper Stars which will be played at the Nike Centre in Pimville, Soweto.
