Orlando Pirates moved within touching distance of the DStv Diski Challenge title after securing a composed 2–0 victory over Chippa United at Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Buccaneers’ youngsters delivered a disciplined and confident performance, controlling key moments of the match while showing attacking sharpness to claim maximum points. Their efficiency in front of goal, combined with a solid defensive display, ensured a comfortable afternoon as they kept their title charge firmly on track.
The result leaves Pirates tantalisingly close to lifting the Diski Challenge crown. Heading into their final fixture, they now require just a single point to mathematically secure top spot and cap off an impressive campaign.
However, the celebrations could arrive even sooner. Should Mamelodi Sundowns fail to defeat Kaizer Chiefs in their upcoming clash, Pirates would be crowned champions without needing to play their final match.
With momentum on their side and the title within reach, Pirates have placed themselves in a commanding position now just one step away from Diski Challenge glory.
