Bucs must pick up the pieces

Orlando Pirates defender Nkosinathi Sibisi says his side could have played for another 90 minutes against Stellenbosch on Sunday, and they still wouldn't have hit the back of the net!

The Buccaneers dropped their first Betway Premiership points of the season as they went down 1-0 at Orlando Stadium, Stellies' Devin Titus grabbing the only goal of the game.

That result, on the back of seven successive league wins to start the season, meant Pirates stayed in second place in the table, level on points with Mamelodi Sundowns.
