Orlando Pirates secured a 2-0 victory over Cape Town City in an MTN8 semifinal second-leg match played at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Therefore, the defending champions eased into their third successive MTN8 final where they will take on either Mamelodi Sundowns or Stellenbosch FC after winning their tie against City 3-1 on aggregate. Pirates’ next match is against Jwaneng Galaxy on 13 September in the Caf Champions League.
The Citizens, on the other hand, bowed out of the tournament having drawn 1-1 at home in the first-leg clash on Wednesday. City will now take on Royal AM on 14 September in their opening Betway Premiership match of the season.
Having scored in back-to-back matches, Relebohile Mofokeng looked lively in the opening stages and he was involved when the deadlock was broken in the 25th minute. Mofokeng’s top-notch cross was headed home by Tshegofatso Mabasa to hand Pirates a 1-0 lead.
