Las Palmas 0:1 Orlando Pirates — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Boitumelo Radiopane struck late as Orlando Pirates edged Las Palmas 1-0 in a Club Friendly, with midfielder Matome Mmolai’s composed display earning him the standout rating, though no next fixture is set for either side. The match was a cagey affair between the Spanish and South African outfits, producing little clear-cut action until the closing stages.

The deadlock was broken in the 86th minute when Radiopane found the net unassisted, punishing a rare lapse in the Las Palmas defence after a scrappy period of play. Both sides had seen early yellow cards in the 13th minute, but the contest lacked rhythm or sustained threat until that decisive moment.

Statistics show Las Palmas controlled possession with 54%, yet Orlando Pirates created more from set pieces, earning four corners to none. The numbers paint a picture of a side that dominated territory without reward, outplayed but undone by a single moment of efficiency. Mmolai, a midfielder, was the standout with a 7.48 rating, anchoring the midfield without scoring. No prediction data is available, and with no next fixture confirmed, both teams return to their pre-season schedules.
