Championship season scenario! Orlando Pirates repeat iconic achievement after 14 years

Orlando Pirates secured another victory in the Betway Premiership. After triumphs in the MTN 8 Cup and the Carling Knockout, Abdessalam Waddu's squad is in hot pursuit of a championship title that Johannesburg hasn't witnessed in 14 years.

Remarkably, with their win over Magezi, the Pirates notched their sixth consecutive home victory in the league. Notably, this feat hasn't been achieved since their championship campaign in the 2011/2012 season.

It's worth noting that Orlando are level on points with Mamelodi Sundowns, but the "Brazilians" have played one game more. The Pirates haven't lost at home since August 9, 2025, when they suffered defeat to Sekhukhune.
