Bloemfontein — Musa Nyatama scored against his old club with his first goal for Orlando Pirates as the Buccaneers beat Bloemfontein Celtic 1-0 on Sunday and climbed to second place on the Premier Soccer League standings. They are now a point behind leaders Baroka FC but incredibly have won only four of their 12 league games this season. Nyatama’s strike was only the ninth goal of the season for Pirates‚ which illustrates the poor football the PSL is experiencing at the moment. Pirates had not won in their previous six league games. Sunday’s match was largely a snorefest‚ punctuated by weak crosses‚ loss of possession and poor decision-making. The heat meant the game was never going to be played at a decent tempo and so most of the passing and movement was at pedestrian pace.
