FOOTBALL NEWS - A solitary goal courtesy of Thabo Qalinge helped Orlando Pirates beat Cape Town City 1-0 at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday night in the Absa Premiership.
This is Pirates' third victory and coach Milutin Sredojevic's men now occupy the top spot in the Premiership with 11 points from five rounds of matches.
The opening 10 minutes saw the hosts making brilliant moves which resulted in Bernard Morrison passing the ball to Thembinkosi Lorch, who made a fine run behind the defence, but City's goalkeeper Shu-Aib Walters came out to make a good save for a corner.
Resulting from the corner, Musa Nyatama received a pass from Qalinge, but the former failed to lower his shot with only Walters to beat.
In the 13th minute, Lyle Lakay drilled a wonderful set piece in search of the left corner, but keeper Wayne Sandilands was equal to the task to concede a corner kick.
Just after the 30th minute, coach Benni McCarthy's men scored through Lehlohonolo Majoro after Sandilands mishandled the ball, but the referee disallowed the goal.
