The Buccaneers returned to winning ways after claiming a narrow 1-0 victory over the Lions of the North at the Makhulong Stadium in the Absa Premiership on Tuesday.

However, one of the main talking points of the game was Tshegofatso Mabaso, who was lucky to be on the pitch following his harsh challenge on Lindokuhle Mbatha.

Mabaso was played through on goal before firing his effort past Highlands goalkeeper Thela Ngobeni. However, replays suggested that the Pirates striker was well offside when he received a through-ball from Linda Mntambo.
