Orlando Piratesteenager Mohau Nkotascored a brace during the team’s 2-1 win over AmaZuluat the Orlando Stadium on Friday evening.
The Buccaneers’ win maintains their perfect win record in the Betway Premiership. Jose Riveiro‘s men were clinical early on but failed to convert their chances in the second half. The win earned three more points, taking their tally to 15 after five games played in the 2024/25 campaign.
Having retained the same eleven that won against SuperSport United midweek, Pirates faced a different challenge in an Usuthu side still chasing their first league points.
Orlando Pirates teenager Nkota introduce himself with stunning goal
It would take something special for either side to grab hold of the game and that moment was provided by Bucs teen sensation Mohau Nkota who produced a left-footed stunner from a long way out in the 31st minute, beating Usuthu keeper Richard Ofori at his near post.
The goal put the Buccaneers in the driving seat and the Orlando Pirates teenager got on the end of the next opportunity just seconds later as he got on the end of a pass from Maswanganyi. However, he could only fire off-target this time around and he miscued his shot.
How good was Nkota last night?
