Collins Mbesuma finally scored his 12th League goal of the PSL season.The goal was not enough as Mpumalanga Black Aces lost 3-1 to Orlando Pirates.Mukuka Mulenga was an unused Sub in the match.
Aces lost for the 1st time in the league at home when they went down 1-3 to Orlando Pirates yesterday afternoon.
Pirates started well and went ahead in the 5th minute through Rakhale. Both teams played with high intensity and it was no surprise that there were more goals.
Mbesuma leveled matters in the 12th minute when he latched onto a Bryce Moon cross.
In the 17th minute Mbesuma did not see an unmarked Jayiya who would probably have taken the lead for Aces.
4 minutes later Makola nearly doubled Buc’s lead when his free kick clattered against the crossbar.
Tendai Ndoro who replaced Majoro in the 63rd minute scored a brace in the 69′ and 87′ to give Pirates a 3-1 victory.
It doesn’t get easier for Aces who missed Manyama yesterday, as they face log leaders Sundowns on Wednesday – and will also miss Ngalo who received his 4th yellow card.
