An own goal in the last 10 minutes allowed Bidvest Wits a ‘snatch and grab’ win away at Orlando Pirates for their third win in as many games at the start of the new season and top place in South Africa’s Premier Soccer League.
New signing Hashim Domingo’s clever play coming in from the flank and then playing a square ball off the legs of Gladwin Shitolo settled the outcome in a match in which Pirates had dominated.
