ORLANDO PIRATES HELD BY AMAZULU
Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou made two changes to the side from the previous match with Ghampani Lungu and Sihle Nduli cracking the nod.
Ouaddou sacrificed both Thalente Mbatha and Oswin Appollis as he tried a different combination in the middle of the park.
This was Nduli’s first start in a long time for the Buccanners after being sidelined for months through injury.
However, Nduli suffered another injury setback in the second half after being stamped onto by Ngwenya.
Ngwenya was lucky to only be shown a yellow card when he actually should have been dismissed by the referee.
Ultimately, both sides settled for a share of the spoils which took Pirates to four points after their opening two games.
