Orlando Pirates face big setback in PSL title race after Sekhukhune loss
The Star
|May 02, 2025
ORLANDO Pirates may have just played their last strong hand in the Premiership title race.

And as close as they came, their latest defeat to Sekhukhune United could prove to be a critical blow - perhaps the final knock that will make it difficult for them to mount a serious pursuit of their long-awaited 10th league crown.
Coming into the season, the Buccaneers were widely tipped as the most likely challengers to end Mamelodi Sundowns’ dominance.
More than any other team, they seemed best equipped to launch a formidable campaign - and for large parts of the season, they did just that.
Their MTN8 triumph earlier in the season stands as proof of the remarkable foundation laid by Jose Riveiro and his technical team — measured not just in trophies, but in the consistency and conviction of their performances, especially this season.
