In the only two games Erasmus faced Pirates whilst on their books, he didn’t find the back of the net despite playing over 100 minutes against them.

The only consolation for him is that he was on the winning side on both occasions as Sundowns proved too strong for Pirates.

Now, overall, Erasmus has faced Pirates eight times as a player while on the books of SuperSport United, Cape Town City and now Sundowns.

He has managed to find the back of net just twice in those eight matches, and the two goals came while he was contracted to Cape Town City.
