Orlando Pirates returned to action on Friday evening when they hosted Cape Town Spurs in the first round of the inaugural Carling Knockout Cup.
Despite no goals being scored in the opening half, there was plenty of action at either end. The deadlock was eventually broken on the hour mark thanks to a Tapelo Xoki penalty kick after Zama Dlamini brought Evidence Makgopa down in the box.
Four minutes later, a lovely interchange between Kermit Erasmus and Evidence Makgopa was finished off by ‘Romeo’. Take a look at the slick second goal of the night below.

I don’t think our success is based on our past success (winning trophies), but mainly because we are Orlando Pirates.” Jose Riveiro said as quoted by Citizen.
“So, every time we go into every competition, we must accept that we will always be one of the favourites to win the tournament, which is a normal thing.
“It is always nice being in a team (Orlando Pirates) that gives you the possibility to challenge for every trophy. Winning the final early in the season was a boost for us in terms of confidence.”
