Orlando Pirates has shocked the masses when baptised Lamontville Golden Arrows with bunch of goals in DStv Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening.

The home team has proved to the visitors that they were not there to play the marbles when they score seven goals in a single match.
Last night,the supporters of Orlando Pirates were very happy to witness something which is unusual whereby Tshegofatso Mabasa scored a hat-trick and other four players scored one goal each to make score tally to seven.
The home team netted three goals in the first half,the first goal for the night was scored on the 11th minute by Mabasa,the second goal was scored on the 14th minute by Relebohile Mofokeng and the third goal was scored by Kabelo Dlamini on the 32nd minute.
During the second half,Pirates came back to continue with the mission when Mabasa scored his second goal on the 51st minute and on the 75th minute Sandile Mthethwa scored the fifth goal for the Buccaneers.
On the 77th minute,the visitors managed to score a consolation goal which was converted by Lungelo Nguse and that angered the home team because on the 78th minute Mabasa responded with a beautiful strike to make score 6-1.
It did not end there,however,in an additional time, the Democratic Republic of Congo export Karim Kimvuidi scored the seventh goal for his club to wrapped the match with 7-1.
Mabasa was picked as the Man of the Match which deserved after being instrumental for his team as he scored three goals for his side.
Thus far,this season Mabasa has scored 10 goals in the league and that makes him one of the contenders of the Golden Boot Award at the end of the season.
On Wednesday night,the Buccaneers found themselves under a huge pressure when they were playing against Moroka Swallows and that match ended in a 1-1 draw at Dobsonville Stadium.
On Saturday of 30 March,the Bucs suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss against Sekhukhune United in an away match at New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
