PIRATES DRAW HELLENIC

ORLANDO Pirates and Hellenic shared the spoils after their 1-1 draw in a Castle Premier League match at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday night. Sibusiso Zuma put Pirates ahead in the 16th minute when he headed home a Thabo Mngomeni cross to beat keeper Marumo Dithebe. But Pirates’ joy was short lived when in the 24th minute Carlos das Neves equalised from a cross sent in by David Peterson. Bucs were disappointing after creating several scoring chances which were wasted. Hellenic was unable to capitalise on the counter-attack. Both sides made major substitutions in the second half but to no avail.
