Pirates sent a resounding statement with a ruthless 6-0 demolition of TS Galaxy, a result that saw them reclaim top spot on the Betway Premiership standings - one ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a game in hand. It was a performance that reflected both attacking fluency and growing belief.

Relebohile Mofokeng (21-year old) led the charge with a hat-trick, while Tshepang Moremi and Kamogelo Sebelebele also found the net, alongside an own goal by Mlungisi Mbunjana.
