mofokeng goal gives pirates slight advantage against city in mtn8 semi

It remains to be seen how critical Relebohile Mofokeng's goal will be for Orlando Pirates after they played to a 1-1 draw against Cape Town City in the first leg of their MTN8 semifinal at Cape Town Stadium on Wednesday evening.

If there's no team with a goal in the second leg, which Pirates will host at Orlando Stadium on Saturday, Mofokeng's goal will take his side to the final where Bucs will stand a chance of becoming the first team to win this competition three times in a row.

Mofokeng continued to underline why he's become such an important player for Pirates with his 15th-minute strike giving Jose Riveiro's Buccaneers an away goal advantage.

The goal was not an easy to score as the 19-year-old winger still had to beat former Bafana Bafana stalwart right-back Thamsanqa Mkhize after receiving a good diagonal pass from defender Thabiso Sesame.

With Mkhize well beaten Mofokeng then put the ball behind the reach of City goalkeeper Darren Keet who could not stop the strike despite the ball touching his gloves on the way to the back of the net, giving Bucs a 15th-minute lead.
