Confirmed: MTN8 final Man of the Match

Orlando Pirates lifted another major trophy last weekend when the Buccaneers beat Stellenbosch FC in the MTN8 final. Guess, who was the Man of the Match in black?

MTN8: ORLANDO PIRATES 3-1 STELLENBOSCH FC

Stellenbosch FC started really when. Lehlohonolo Mojela scored a bicycle kick in just under 15 minutes. The Soweto giants later responded with a Monnapule Saleng equaliser in the 43rd minute.

The Stellenbosch heartbreak would come in injury time.

Tsegofatso Mabasa took the lead during injury time on 93 minutes before Relebohile Mofokeng delivered the third during the 96th minute.

While Orlando Pirates set a record of three consecutive MTN8 titles, the team also delivered a fifth title in three seasons under Jose Riveiro.

MAN OF THE MATCH

In his first season as a regular first-team footballer, 23-year-old central defender Thabiso Sesane was Orlando Pirates’ best player on the night.

Meanwhile, Sesane has made Hugo Broos’ latest Bafana Bafana squad for two Afcon qualifiers against Congo Brazzaville this week.
