Pirates put TS Galaxy to sword in pre-season friendly

Orlando Pirates continued their good form this pre-season with a 4-2 win over TS Galaxy on Sunday afternoon

The Buccaneers showcased their attacking prowess and tactical adaptability in the three-thirds game format, which saw both technical teams giving their players a run for much-needed match fitness ahead of the upcoming league campaign.

The friendly match, which was played behind closed doors, saw both teams going all out as they look to find a balance ahead of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership.

Fortune Makaringe showcased his clinical finishing abilities, latching onto a pinpoint cross from Bandile Shandu to find the back of the net. Not to be outdone, the burly Cameroonian forward, Eva Nga, sealed the victory with a clinical finish past the onrushing goalkeeper in the dying embers of the game.
