Pirates Perfect Start Shattered By Stellenbosch

Orlando Pirates unblemished record to the start of the Betway Premiership season has come to an end.

The Buccaneers have suffered their first defeat, losing 1-nil to Stellenbosch FC at their fortress, the Orlando Stadium, in Soweto.

Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are now level on 22 points with Downs moving to the top of the log standings because of a superior goal difference.

In another Betway premiership match, Golden Arrows beat Cape Town City 3-2 at the Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammarsdale to move to fifth place on the log.
