Pirates ease into another decider

NEDBANK CUP: OUST STRUGGLING GALLANTS IN SEMIS

- Jonty Mark

Orlando Pirates eased into a third Nedbank Cup final on the spin yesterday, with Kabelo Dlamini's goal enough to beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 at Orlando Stadium.

Jose Riveiro's side will now also look to lift the trophy for the third time in a row, and had little trouble seeing off Abdelsam Ouaddou's ineffective Gallants.

Gallants set up, as expected, to keep Pirates at bay and hit them on the break.

And for a while the plan worked, at least defensively, as the Buccaneers battled to pick the lock in Ouaddou's side.
