Orlando Pirates ended their dreadful run in the league, after they edged past their Soweto rivals, Kaizer Chiefs, at the FNB Stadium.
The Buccaneers enjoyed a slightly better start than their rivals, although they lacked penetration in the final third and struggled to create openings.
Thabo Rakhale looked lively in the opening stages and registered the first effort on target in the 16th minute with a volley from 20-yards out, which Itumeleng Khune managed to gather at the second time of asking.
Eric Tinkler’s men who took a deserved lead in the 25th minute when Issa Sarr fired home from close range, after Khune did well to keep out Siyabonga Sangweni’s initial header.
It was all going the way of the Buccaneers but they did squander a chance to double their lead in the 35th minute when Thabo Matlaba skewed his effort wide of the the mark with only Khune to beat.
