View a gallery from Orlando Pirates’ 2-1 victory over a 10-man Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8 final on Saturday evening to pick up their first trophy since 2014.
Pirates went behind early on as Siphelele Luthuli capitalised on a defensive error to smash his side into the lead, but Deon Hotto equalised for the Sea Robbers just before the break.
Josef Zinnbauer’s side then were handed a massive advantage as Ronald Pfumbidzai was given his marching orders for hauling down Thembinkhosi Lorch in the box, with the winger dusting himself off to score the winning goal.
