00:00the MTN 8 as they look to make it a treble of titles. Three in a row in the MTN 8. It's a very
00:08good afternoon to you from a sun-bathed Orlando Stadium. It's the home of Orlando Pirates.
00:17As a sunbather say, but don't let that deceive you. It's a bit of a cool afternoon up here on
00:23the high felt as we're supposed to be welcoming spring. It certainly doesn't feel like it.
00:30Well, speaking of spring, Orlando Pirates will hope that the home crowd that have come into
00:36the Orlando Stadium and that are still streaming into the Orlando Stadium will put a bit of a
00:41spring in their step. Give them a lift that they will need against what is certain to be a tricky,
00:48Cape Town city side. City who were rattled with an early goal that they conceded in midweek at home.
00:56Well, they came back and they came back with some force. They came storming back,
01:03got the equalizer and well, I think to some extent it's to finish the job now.
01:09Here's a good ball, look, whipped in here and they're defending again from Tabizwa's assignment.
01:15Speaking of the impressive center backs, this man has been impressive since he was also
01:21given a chance in the starting lineup late last season.
01:26Trying to clip the ball
01:30behind the city defense referee Bloso.
01:35This is good work here now. Could be an opportunity to get a ball into the middle.
01:39Well read there.
01:46To the edge of the box there.
01:55Now the Dhoni Sandawe is the up-band these days. He's spotted something in the free kick.
02:02So then Kiza's gone down though.
02:05Great ball through here but just a little bit too much and well read by Sifoceinu as
02:10I offer his line quickly. A little over the top one for the Namibian to chase Shweza. Takes the
02:18shot and the chain. A man who's been called up for two but not a fun, not a fun squander.
02:25Well read there, they were holding their offside trap correctly there.
02:36Needs discipline to play that offside. Masohane looked to play it square.
02:43Well I thought he could have had a goal himself there.
02:46Thought he could have had a crack across the goal. Went for the pass and there instead did
02:52Salaing doing well too.
02:56Great understanding there Petras. Keep it up as well as Kiza.
03:03Not in the stride of Salaing but he's done ever so well here. Salaing and I love the way he
03:09defended there. You see when the little fist bump from a defender like he's just scored there.
03:14Approaches Petras. Salaing done extremely well.
03:19As Darren Keats drenches the number corner.
03:2820 minutes gone here at Orlando Stadium. Still locked at 1-0.
03:35Mbatha is rising.
03:42Went for the spectacular there. It is Hutto trying to slip in a pass there.
03:49For Salaing.
03:52Great intervention there from Tama.
03:55In comes the cross. Oh! Great get-up! It's Novasa! Off the mark he goes. What a great ball in!
04:03And that is just the start that Pirates wanted. They put themselves in front.
04:10And that is worked to perfection. Fall under Pirates. That's where they want to be. They take
04:18firm control of the game now with that goal. 2-1 on aggregate means that City would have to score
04:25twice at the very least if they hope to get through this one.
04:30They're left in concentration there from that defensive kickdown. Said it was a short corner
04:36there. That's a foul and a possible yellow. It is a yellow. Well, they're backing them up here.
04:54There's Petras there just clipping in from the control here. And they could double their lead
04:58here. Just too many touches and eventually they get in each other's way there.
05:06And Ali Mufuken has kept it alive.
05:10The back post Mkize gets it back into the kill zone.
05:14Heading away by Novasa helping out in defence. Still City have it. Ali Mufuken looking to get his
05:21second and then 10-8 and it's Hato!
05:24Too Hato to handle. And it punches all through the wall and that second goal
05:32is an absolute killer. Struck with power and accuracy.
05:42And that could be that. Still with a full half of football to go but at 3-1 it's a long long road
05:51back. Pirates have stormed back after a titillating start to this game. They have powered back and wow
06:01what a spectacular way to the final here for Pirates have put themselves in a commanding
06:08position here at Central Prefix. They care for Pirates. Oh, that's going to be a yellow.
06:15Now, I took one for the team there that Nyama because Mufuken was gone and he saw the danger
06:23Nyama.
06:36To come on to him instead of attacking it. An opportunity went. There's a player down in the
06:40middle of the park for London Pirates and there'll be a free kick as well for Cape Town City.
06:46This is something to chase and the line that wins that contest that way.
