Orlando Pirates outclass Stellenbosch FC as ORBIT College FC shock Magesi FC

The Betway Premiership delivered another night of high drama on Tuesday, with Orlando Pirates tightening their grip on the title race and ORBIT College pulling off a crucial away victory.

At the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, Stellenbosch FC were undone by a ruthless Orlando Pirates side. The Buccaneers struck twice to secure a 2-0 win, keeping their championship ambitions firmly alive. Pirates’ clinical finishing and defensive discipline proved too much for Stellies, who struggled to break through despite home advantage.

Elsewhere, Siwelele FC and Durban City FC shared the spoils in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Both sides traded blows in a match filled with attacking intent, but neither could find the decisive edge. The result leaves both teams hovering in mid‑table, with work to do if they are to climb higher.

In Polokwane, ORBIT College FC stunned Magesi FC with a 2-1 away win. Magesi, desperate to escape the bottom of the table, were left frustrated as ORBIT showed resilience and sharp counter‑attacking play to claim all three points. The victory gives ORBIT a vital boost in their fight for survival.

The night’s drama was capped Buffalo City Stadium in East London, where Chippa United’s clash with Sekhukhune United was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch. Heavy rains made conditions unplayable, forcing officials to call off the fixture. The encounter was then rescheduled for Wednesday, 6 May 2026, at 13h00.

With Pirates marching on, ORBIT College breathing life into their campaign, and Siwelele locked in a battle for consistency, the Betway Premiership continues to serve up twists and turns as the season heads into its decisive stretch.
