On monday 9-04-2012,Orlando Pirates beat the religation strugglers Jomo Cosmos 2-1 at Orlando stadium to keep their hope of defending the title.
Pirates were too strong for Cosmos where they managed to grab the three ponts in the last minutes of day to keep on the run of winning the Premier Soccer League title.The win gave the soweto giant hopes of deffending their title and putting pressure on the Brazillians.

Pirates has been doing well since the dismisal of their head coach,the Brazillian born Julio Leal.
Good things about Pirates at the moment:
  • They have good character in the field of play
  • They show determination of winning as a team
  • They respect their opponents
  • They have good quality players who are willing to win

While their counter part Mamelodi Sundowns are showing the determination of winning the title this season as it has being long for them to win something.Mamelodi Sundowns played Limpopo side Black Leopards at Peter Mokaba on Wednesday night to keep their title hopes alive by beating them with the same score as Pirates(2-1).

Sundowns despite spending too much cash in the previous seasons buying players,their are determined to change all that by winning the title and making their supporters happy.They want to make a double this season after qualifying in the quarter finals of the Nedbank Cup.

This gives to much pressure on both teams sharing the same points with Sundowns having a better goal difference on Pirates.The questions who is going to be the last standing at the end of the season?

  2. I think the position will be decided when we arrive in Calculating time and we must look more to come, if you may look the feature there is no prediction you can make,also current football there is no small teams, other teams are figthing for relagations, top8,2012-2013 PSL champions , either lose or draw between Pirates and Sundowns pin pointing will be gathered, looking to previous games i think pirates has improved in term of looking the log, because Sundowns was too far in points now the difference is goals.

  5. This may be very tough for both teams but what lives a mark in us as suppoters is that why do the said to be "bigger" teams in the league ussually loose when playing with the developing or small teams in the league?

  6. Interestingly people blamed Pirates failure to win any silverware to Teko Modise a few seasons ago. They attributed to the success of winning a treble with Ruud Krol to his departure basically labelling Teko a curse...come end of the season Teko will celebrate as the winner of the ABSA premier league even sweeter as captain!!

    1. It was time for Pirates to lift the trophies and not because of Tiko.He was just a player like others no need to blame him but for sure if he wins the premiership with Sundowns they gonna regret for what they said about him.

  7. well i must say that am not realy suprised that Orlando pirates scored during the last minutes of the game , it seems as if that has became their norm. Good luck to both of the teams and may the best man win and the other salute.
