Orlando Pirates are effectively one win away from claiming the Betway Premiership title after Mamelodi Sundowns' unexpected 3-2 defeat to TS Galaxy on Tuesday night in Mbombela. With only two games left for the Pirates, they currently sit at 65 points from 28 games, while Sundowns concluded their league season with 68 points. The match saw TS Galaxy take an early lead with a penalty converted by Victor Letsoalo, followed by a fierce strike from Sedwyn George. Although Pirates managed to equalize through Brayan León, Mpho Mvelase's goal in the second half secured the win for Galaxy. If Pirates win one of their remaining matches, they will secure the championship for the first time in 14 years, denying Sundowns a ninth consecutive title. The Pirates will host Durban City on May 16 and visit Orbit College on May 23, with their final match venue yet to be confirmed.
