Orlando Pirates overcome Gallants to close gap on Sundowns
Orlando Pirates defeated struggling Marumo Gallants 2-0 at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Sunday to trim Mamelodi Sundowns lead on the 2026/27 Betway Premiership table.

The Chilli Boys have struggled for goals this season under new head coach Brandon Truter, recording five draws and one defeat but were too strong for Bernard Parker's Rockets.
Harold Majadibodu scored the all-important goal after 62 minutes to secure the result and leave his side in ninth place on the league standings with eight points from seven games.
Galaxy are down in 12th with six points, also with just the one win all season.
Elsewhere, Durban City were held to a 1-1 draw by a stubborn Milford. Mvelo Zikakayo opened the scoring for the newly promoted side after 38 minutes, but Luphumlo Sifumba secured a share of the spoils with his goal after 50 minutes.
The result saw the Citizens end the weekend in 10th place with seven points, while the Stallions are in fifth place with 12 points, from eight games.
