Relebohile Mofokeng provided the spark as Orlando Pirates beat ten-man TS Galaxy 2-0 to make it six out of six in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday night.
The Buccaneers matched their best start to a season in the PSL stretching back to 1996 and they also extended their lead to six points atop the league standings.
Coach Jose Riveiro's side will look to set a new club record when they host Richards Bay on 5 November.
The 20-year-old's stunning second-half goal, coupled with Thalente Mbatha's first-half strike, sealed the deal for the home side.
As expected, the Buccaneers were dominant in the early stages of the game, building up with high intensity, as they sought to secure the opening goal.
They nearly took the lead in the fifth minute, launching an offensive initiated by Thalente Mbatha, who found Mohau Nkota; however, Nkota's attempt into the box was intercepted.
Pirates ultimately gained the advantage in the 16th minute, thanks to Thalente Mbatha, who struck a powerful shot from outside the box, leaving goalkeeper Eliezer Ira Tape unable to respond.
The visitors continued to generate significant scoring opportunities, leveraging the speed of Relebogile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota on the flanks.
Mbatha could have bagged a brace in the 37th minute when he seized a loose ball at the edge of the penalty area and executed a half-volley, forcing a save from Ira Tape.
Ezimnyama Ngenkani were 1-0 ahead at halftime.
Jose Riveiro's troops picked up where they left in the first half even though they lowered their gears somewhat in the first ten minutes.
At times, the Rockets had a few forward movements as they sought an equaliser.
In the 72nd minute, Relebohile Mofokeng doubled Pirates' lead with a stunning curled shot from outside the box.
Galaxy were reduced to ten men when Kamogelo Sebelebele got his marching orders in the 90th minute.
With this win the Sea Robbers extended their lead at top of the standings. They are six points ahead of the second placed Mamelodi Sundowns.
