Published on by

Orlando Pirates battled to a 1-0 win over Marumo Gallants to secure their spot in the Nedbank Cup final against Kaizer Chiefs.

The Sea Robbers are now hoping to go all the way to winning their third title in as many seasons, of course, if they beat their old rivals Kaizer Chiefs.

Have a look at what their fans said after a huge win on Sunday at the Orlando Stadium.

We played way too well to come out with only one goal, but a win is all that matters at the end of the match. Credit to Tito for the first goal; it was created by him. Thank you for taking us to the promised land once again, the last stage of the competition.A game we don't play but we WIN. We are officially one game away from making history again like we did with the MTN8 three-peat cup collection – Mbalenhle Billy Mgcina 

Another final well done, boys. We are playing too many games, it can’t always be fancy, but we take a win and move to the final – Bishop Sekete

One day we will be admitted to hospital, because of the happiness that PSG, Pirates Saint Gauteng, brings in our lives – Ernest Van De Light 

Patrick Maswanganyi is a good player; that boy is intelligent. However, he needs a coach who can nudge him to not be too playful – Mpho Pelonomi

Deon Hotto is already our legend; the man is too good. Sign a striker next season but Evidence Makgopa is not a football player – Onele Manxusa 

Hotto is a workhorse but Makgopa!

Big ups to the boys for reaching the Nedbank Cup finals 3 times in a row. Hotto is a workhorse. Makgopa must be benched for the rest of the season – Musa Ernest Yugos Khosa-Mavona 

A Great win, I like how we are now able to protect our lead. But I am worried about those chances we missed. Our midfield needs to be aggressive for us to win the Caf Champions League and win the Nedbank Cup again – Jabulani Silence 

We need to be honest about Makgopa. He is not what we think he is. How can you leave a ball you can easily score for a person who is not even a striker? – M'kgosi Tsiepe 

Some people! If we win, they complain; if we lose, they complain. What do you want? – Zinhle Ngcobo 

Pirates seriously needs to sign strikers and release Makgopa and Mabasa, we are toothless upfront and pose no threat to the opposition – Bizzah Mdumane KaNguta Mpunga
