DDC WRAP: Pirates make it six victories on the trot

Orlando Pirates are cruising nicely.

It seems that the Buccaneers are ready to assert their dominance this season in the DStv Diski Challenge league. In what many considered the match of the weekend, they managed to secure a convincing 3-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC on Saturday, despite expectations that they might drop points. This victory saw them make it six consecutive victories in seven matches. They are the only team that has yet to lose a game since the league started.

Joy Manana scored a brace against Stellenbosch, meanwhile Samukelo Zikalala netted the third and final goal, ensuring Pirates maintain their top spot on the log.

Kaizer Chiefs 2-2 Marumo Gallants

Things are not looking good for Amakhosi. On Sunday, the Chiefs were held to a 2-2 draw by a determined Marumo, extending their winless streak to four matches.

Chiefs went into halftime trailing 1-0 but staged a comeback in the second half, with Donay Jansen and Matlala Makhubo both scoring. It seemed as though Chiefs were on the verge of ending their winless run until a last-minute equaliser from Gallants changed the outcome.
