Orlando Pirates beat Milford FC 2-0 in the Premier Soccer League. Oswin Reagan Appollis put them ahead after 24 minutes, and Tshepang Moremi sealed the win in the 85th. Pirates were not dominant in possession but created the clearer chances.
Appollis struck midway through the first half, and Patrick Maswanganyi was booked four minutes later. The score stayed 1-0 until Moremi finished from Lebone Seema's assist with five minutes left. Olwethu Cele was also shown a yellow card in the 67th minute.
Milford had 53% possession and completed 420 passes to Pirates' 357, but Pirates still led on expected goals 1.58 to 0.24 and created three big chances to Milford's none. They also had 11 shots to Milford's nine, with five on target. The late second goal gave the result a slightly more comfortable look than the underlying play.
