06 Apr 2019

Happy Jele has been named the man-of-the-match ...

06 Apr 2019

FULL-TIME! 

And that's it, at the death Orlando Pirates claim a pivotal victory and are within a chance to claim the Absa Premiership crown. 

06 Apr 2019

Keegan Ritchie heads in an own goal following a teasing cross from a Pirates free-kick.

WOW!

06 Apr 2019

93' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

06 Apr 2019

92' Murray is on for Wits to replace Dzvukumanja.

06 Apr 2019

91' YELLOW! This time Majoro is booked for a sliding tackle. That was silly and he just came on.

06 Apr 2019

90' Three minutes of additional time added on ...

06 Apr 2019

88' Hotto with a terrible corner-kick ... 

06 Apr 2019

86' CHANCE! A set-piece is taken by Ritchie and he curls it past the wall, but unfortunately also past the posts. Decent effort. 

06 Apr 2019

84' YELLOW! Pirates' third booking of the match! This time it'ss Motshwari who is cautioned for a dangerous foul.

06 Apr 2019

82' CHANCE! Mulenga struggles to find his balance and trips over his own feet instead of firing a shot at the Wits goal.

06 Apr 2019

80' TEN minutes to go. 

06 Apr 2019

77' Substitutes have changed the match immediately ...

06 Apr 2019

74' Hunt now ringing in the changes as he introduces Majoro for Motupa.

06 Apr 2019

71' SUB: Qalinga replaces Gabuza.

06 Apr 2019

70' It's been a relatively cautious game for both sides as we head into the final minutes of the match can things change?

06 Apr 2019

68' Ritchie receives a yellow card and will miss Wits' next league match.

06 Apr 2019

67' Hotto is introduced to the fold while Mhango heads to the bench.

06 Apr 2019

06 Apr 2019

61' Ndengane finds himself being booked ...

06 Apr 2019

59' WHAT A CHANCE! Pirates mess up a golden opportunity, as three of their forwards are unable to get a clear shot at goal.

06 Apr 2019

56' YELLOW! Dzvukumanja earns himself a booking for a sliding tackle after being attended to by the medical staff.

06 Apr 2019

53' So far, this fixture has had minimal proper action as the stop-starts continue. Too many fouls in the game. 

06 Apr 2019

50' Meanwhile, Wits have only won five of their 12 home games this season. However, Pirates have not beaten Wits at this venue since 2013.

06 Apr 2019

47' Just a reminder that both outfits trail leaders Mamelodi Sundowns by three points though with the Brazilians facing a possible points deduction. So a win for either side could prove vital in their quest for PSL crown.

06 Apr 2019

45' Second-half is underway ...

06 Apr 2019

HALF-TIME!

06 Apr 2019

46' CHANCE! Mhango, who finds himself on the edge of the penalty area, whips his curling shot past Sandilands but just wide of the target. 

06 Apr 2019

45' Three minutes of additional time added on ...

06 Apr 2019

44' GABUZAAAA! Mulenga whips in a teething cross and the forward somehow scuffs up the chance to give Pirates the lead.

06 Apr 2019

40' Scores still goalless ...

06 Apr 2019

36' A bit of struggle in this match for the players as we have another stoppage in play. This time it's a clash of heads between two players.

06 Apr 2019

31' CHANCE! After the free-kick hits the wall, the ball falls into the path of Mulenga and the Zambian international sees his effort whizz past the upright. 

06 Apr 2019

29' Strange call by the referee as he issues a free-kick to Pirates after Wits keeper Gross takes excessively long to continue play despite the ball being outside his penalty area after a free-kick.

06 Apr 2019

25' Mulenga receives a yellow card for the challenge and will miss Pirates next match against Black Leopards.

06 Apr 2019

23' Nasty tackle as Mulenga charges down Buhle and has his boot extremely high. Both players down. Hlatshwayo furious along with coach Gavin Hunt. 

06 Apr 2019

06 Apr 2019

10' Wits secure a free-kick after a foul on Mhango and unfortunately, it amounts to nothing.

06 Apr 2019

7' Wits slowly finding their rhythm and seeing a chunk of the ball as Pirates sit back.

5' CHANCE! Ritchie lets an effort go well wide of the target.

06 Apr 2019
