***FULL TIME AT ORLANDO STADIUM***

Eric Tinkler has his first win in this stint as Pirates caretaker coach as his team convincingly beat Ajax Cape Town 4 - 0.

13 Dec 2014

89' - What a goal!  Take a bow Kermit Erasmus!  The Ajax defence was pushing up right to the half way line and a through ball by Sangweni put Erasmus away,  Jenniker manages to get back to try and defend but Erasmus casually wrong foots him and slots the ball home just inside the right hand upright!  Very cool finish from the Pirates striker.

13 Dec 2014

GOAL - ORLANDO PIRATES!

13 Dec 2014

89' - Cale has a chance for Ajax, but he shoots across the face of goal.

13 Dec 2014

87' - Majoro with a brilliant through ball to Erasmus, Jaakkola forces his to go wide, and a heavy touch means the ball goes out.  Great play by the two strikers however, who says they are too similar and cannot play together.

13 Dec 2014

82' - Ajax substitution.  Scott is replaced by Ngalande.

13 Dec 2014

81' - Pirates substitutions.  Myeni is replaced by Rakhale.  Manyisa is replaced by Ntshumayelo.

13 Dec 2014

69' - Corner kick to Ajax, Lebusa has a free header, but he can't keep it down.

13 Dec 2014

65' - A corner from Pirates brings the third.  The Ajax defence don't clear out out swinging corner which come to the feet of Sangweni who sweeps the ball home!  

13 Dec 2014

GOAL - ORLANDO PIRATES!

13 Dec 2014

60'  - This time Majoro can claim the goal, there will be no disputing this one!  Pirates work some space on the right, Myeni picks out Eramus but Jaakkola parries his shot but unfortunately for him straight to Majoro who taps home into an unguarded net.

13 Dec 2014

GOAL - ORLANDO PIRATES!

13 Dec 2014

58' - Pirates have broken the deadlock.  A corner from the right hand side is not dealt with by the Ajax defence and comes through to Majoro who scruffy shot hits the post and comes off the back Jaakkola diving across his goal.  Majoro will claim it but that will be an own goal for the unfortunately Jaakkola.

13 Dec 2014

46' - Ajax with the first attacking move of the second half,  Paulse chases a through ball which is to strong and Mhlongo leaves his line to quickly collect.

13 Dec 2014

***SECOND HALF UNDERWAY***

Can Pirates find a goal for all their dominance?

13 Dec 2014

Pirates have dominated this first half, but they have nothing to show for it.  Jaakkola has done well in goal for Ajax.

13 Dec 2014

33' - Jele and Morris clash heads and Morris has stayed down.  He seems to be fine, but taking some time to get to his feet. 

13 Dec 2014
