Bucs surrender a lead

Orlando Pirates uncharacteristically and shockingly gave up a two goal lead on the last four minutes of the match against Bloemfontein Celtic in the Telkom knokout. It is usually the Bucs that dish up those moments but on Sunday they tasted yhe bitterness of theie own medicine.

The then defending champions were ahead at the interval by two goals to nil. Celtic reduced the deficit into half, before Pirates scored a goal two minutes later. Substitutions helped "'phunya selele" to be rejuvinated, scoring two quick goals in the added time. The Bucs went out to lose the match on penalty shootouts 5-3, thus losing their second title this season after failing to  successfuly defend the MTN 8 title.
