Orlando Pirates delivered a commanding performance to secure a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Marumo Gallants, establishing early dominance and never relinquishing control. The Buccaneers struck twice in the opening half-hour through Y. Mbuthuma's fourth-minute opener and Patrick Maswanganyi's clinical finish on 29 minutes, effectively killing the contest before the break. Relebohile Mofokeng's late strike five minutes from time put the gloss on a professional display that highlighted the gulf in quality between the sides.
