00:00Kasi leading the lineup today. Remember, Korsinati Sedisi is in good support here today.
00:05There are a lot of fans away on the left-hand side behind the goal with Sález and, of course,
00:12Kinkram Reynos has already got three goals this season.
00:16So, we're underway. These are the two teams take over.
00:18Interception there from Siamma, just his second outing, the signing from Galaxy.
00:24And the pace down this right-hand side now.
00:26Oh, that's a lovely turn from Simelebele. Now, can he cut inside?
00:32Trying to lay it back. Sález does ever so well.
00:36Individual glory there, but good defensive work that has been done by Sález.
00:40Simelebele did not go on the...
00:42Full crowd. He walked. He expected to perform well.
00:45Oh, what a ball from Sález, but offside Matthews. Don't count.
00:49The crowd behind belatedly realizing the flag was up.
00:53It went up very early as well before Matthews made contact.
00:56It was a great ball, though, from Aftul Sález.
01:00Maybe horrible season last year.
01:04Missing all of the action except Riot at the end even didn't get a chance to play in the Champions League final.
01:10Did... came back for the win.
01:13Now, chance here for Simelebele!
01:16No, flags up. Isn't going to count.
01:20Back goal comes with some relief to Mamelody Sundowns.
01:23He's going to be the threat today for Mamelody Sundowns with his speed and also what I like about him.
01:34He doesn't just rock the line. He makes those diagonal runs.
01:37He might not have been offside there to be players of this quality.
01:41He's going to be the best.
01:42It is too...
01:44Mofokane, gate-running Hotho.
01:46Now, is there anyone in the middle?
01:48Cross-share for Simelebele!
01:49He's so quick, because I thought he was way off the potential of the square pass, but he's got it ahead of the defender so quickly.
01:59And you can see that Mamelody was waiting for the ball to actually come to him, and you don't know what's happening behind you.
02:04That's why Simelebele took advantage, because Mamelody couldn't see him.
02:07He gets in front of him.
02:08If you get a nice touch there, that's a goal for Lago Paris.
02:11Defensively, you need to know...
02:13Adams, lovely pass to Reynas.
02:20Didn't fire first time, and gives Mbokazi an opportunity to make a good challenge.
02:26I think Ekrem was actually expecting that ball, because you can see Adam bypass Salas and play to Reynas, who was in a good position,
02:34but the ball just got stuck in his feet, and he had to think on his feet.
02:36At least a half-time.
02:39Marcelo Allende, curls it in! Free header!
02:44To Boko Mokwena, from the set-piece, Mamelody Sundowns are in the lead.
02:50Not the kind of goal you want to give away.
02:52Not the kind of goal you want to give away indeed, and we know that with the Mamelody Sundowns,
02:58they're not a team that really, really thrives in set-pieces and be able to score.
03:03So, again, they find themselves free inside the box there, Mokwena with an outswing.
03:08A lot of pass will be very disappointed as to then how they position themselves when you have Mahopo, you have Mbokazi, you know, talent.
03:14You've got to hold to people that can actually compete for that ball.
03:17It's so unlikely on a pass to let a man free inside the box.
03:21Well, you remember, Pyra has got caught at set-pieces in their chapters in the semi-final.
03:29He had a free header, it's a nice and taken, it was well by Mokwena.
03:33Mokwena angled down, and you can see that the play continues, and Salles is just going to keep going.
03:46Cuts inside two, and another, he's going to take the shot.
03:50Good effort, and Reynas on the counter, Matthews has his effort saved by Sipochen.
03:56That could have been two, that should have been two.
04:03That should have been two indeed.
04:04This man on the picture here, good work been done by Salles.
04:09It's fine space around the left.
04:11That shot there, good save from Chayene.
04:13And look at the ball there, Reynas.
04:15That plays into Matthews.
04:17Those are just the tap beans, and those are the most difficult.
04:22The message to Coach Wadu is, we were doing okay.
04:27In terms of our regulars.
04:29Here's Moudiba.
04:30High one.
04:31Back post.
04:33He was leaning a little bit on Fonroy and Mokwena, and the whistle has gone for a free kick in favour of Orlando Pirates.
04:39And you can see as well, the Orlando Pirates, they haven't really swapped us to that hood, Max U.
04:44Because still, again, Fonroy is the man that's supposed to mark Mokwena.
04:47Mokwena gets that head, of course, it's been...
04:51Pirates.
04:53As Hoto goes forward.
04:55Here comes the cross for Mokwena.
04:57He's offside.
04:58Good save, Williams.
04:59Good save indeed.
05:01And a good run as well for Mokwena.
05:03Just lurking behind Grant Kikana, which he does so well by keeping that line, making sure that, you know, they are on a straight line, just in case.
05:12Mokwena has got a chance, oh, that is the deal on Hoto's shot, isn't it?
05:26Especially with his weaker foot.
05:28And it's always a difficult one because it comes across, it was also difficult if it was a right-footed player, because you need to keep your eyes on the ball.
05:35And you can see the good movement from the left to the side.
05:38He's the person that started and also finished.
05:40A little bit of a hammock in that Sundown's defense.
05:45A little chip here for Mokwena, lovely ball off the knee and Mokwena's still alive.
05:50He's going to get another chance here at Maswangane.
05:55Leaning back as he took that shot over the top.
05:58I mean, look at the touch that Mokwena has inside the box.
06:01A clever little ball being played by Mokwena.
06:03You've seen him done this so well.
06:06And yet, they didn't finish the ball.
06:09Yes, yeah, with Mdunielo could have done better in that box.
06:13But look at the touch here, finding himself, trying to buy space.
06:16You can see that he's trying to play to Maswangane.
06:18But then again, the second touch again.
06:19And you can see here with Maswangane going backwards, unable to get the ball inside the top.
06:26Oh, Nuli losing out.
06:28Mokwena for Reynas.
06:31Good chuckle, but Reynas is in on goal.
06:33That's a good save.
06:34A brilliant save there from Cheney, making himself big.
06:38Came out right on time when Reynas also couldn't sport him as soon as he is out of his line.
06:45Defensively for the moment.
06:46And he's waiting to get the changes on.
06:50Maswangane just left something in there on Mokwena.
06:52Because I think also it's the second time that he's done that to Mokwena.
06:56And the first time he did that, he's going to talk him too.
06:59And yet again, he does the same thing as well.
07:01Is there some beef there that we don't know about?
07:06Mokwena on Formbata.
07:09So that changes the dynamic now, Teko, in terms of the right side.
07:16Maybe they might do also resort to...
07:18Maybe a little far out for him.
07:20Let's see.
07:21He'll float this in.
07:23He's from Cupido and is wide.
07:25He might play a little bit more centrally with Mokwena and Apollos around him.
07:38He might play a little bit more Mokwena that is centrally because we know that with Mokwena there's speed.
07:48He likes to play on the side.
07:49He likes to cut in as well.
07:50But Mokwena is more comfortable as well playing in and around the box, in and around.
07:55Mokwena.
07:56So, set-piece, Mokwena gets the header.
08:00Clearance away by Kekana.
08:01He has Apollos, drives it goalward straight at Ronald Williams.
08:05On target shot for Orlando Piratesville.
08:12Now, Kekana with the error.
08:14Makoppa could have fired a lot better.
08:20That miscommunication there between Lunga and Karan Kekana.
08:23Very unlikely for Mokwena Sundowns to have those type of miscommunication at the back end.
08:30Mokwena's line of pass could have benefited from that.
08:32Makoppa rushing that shot when he had acres of space where he could have actually advanced with the ball
08:36and faced Ronald Williams 1v1.
08:39Look at here.
08:41The hard pass was unable there to control that.
08:44The craft.
08:47The disposal.
08:48Moleni's done well.
08:48Gets us out wide.
08:50Here comes to Venevile.
08:51Into the penalty area.
08:52Did Williams make a fight and save there at the near post?
08:55He did.
08:56Good touch there from Sibilibele.
08:58Using his speed.
09:00And nearly, nearly catches Ronald Williams in this.
09:04In the near post.
09:06Ronald Williams had to make that save.
09:07Of the game for the Buccaneers.
09:09Hato swings it in.
09:10Makoppa!
09:12Hits the upright or the post, I should say.
09:15Well, they are getting closer, Orlando Pirates.
09:19Yes, indeed.
09:20They're playing a better second half.
09:22Where they show so much energy.
09:26A good cross here from Hato.
09:27Look at the jump there from Makoppa.
09:30It's very, very dirty inside the box.
09:32Especially, really, as well.
09:35And he nearly, nearly got a lot of parts in his.
09:41Swings this away.
09:42Free header.
09:43Oh!
09:44Taboko Mokwena could have got a double there.
09:48He could have got a double indeed.
09:49He finds himself free again inside the box.
09:51You can see how disappointed he may be.
09:52Beaten to it by Lulee.
09:56It's opening up a little bit here now.
09:58Sibane Bane on the attack.
10:00Ronald Williams has slipped.
10:02Equalizer.
10:07Pirates have leveled the score.
10:12Kamoghano, Sibane Bane with his first for his new club.
10:18Pure pace.
10:20Pure pace, indeed.
10:21Good ball being played by Mbogazzi to find Sibane Bane.
10:27That right inside where he started very, very well in the first half.
10:31Finding space.
10:32His first touch actually puts him in the right position inside the box.
10:37Was able to finish there with so much pressure.
10:40Of an equalizer from Orlando Pirates.
10:42This man has worked so tirelessly in this game.
10:45Being able to play two positions as well.
10:47Look at the ball being played.
10:48Look at the first touch.
10:49Lulee as well being beaten by that ball.
10:53Caused Renan and Williams as well slipped in there.
10:56But no problem for Sibane Bane to put the ball in just the back of that.
