Orlando Pirates climbed to the top of the Betway Premiership standings as AmaZulu FC missed the opportunity to move up to third place.
The in-form Evidence Makgopa made it two goals in as many matches before Patrick Maswanganyi sealed Pirates' 2-0 victory over eighth-placed Durban City, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.
The influential Relebohile Mofokeng, who provided the assist for Makgopa's goal, was named Man of the Match after helping the Buccaneers open a three-point lead at the top of the standings.
