PIRATES END SUNDOWNS STREAK

ORLANDO Pirates ending Sundowns winning streak with a 1-0 win in the Rothmans Cup first leg semi-final at Minolta Loftus on Sunday. Sundowns game plan was undone by the late withdrawal of Bafana defender Themba Mnguni, who pulled a muscle minutes before the kick off. Pirates capitalised and despite being underdogs given Sundowns unbeaten league and cup record this year triumphed.
