Have Orlando Pirates turned the corner after win over Stellenbosch FC?

Premier Soccer League (PSL) giants Orlando Pirates' narrow victory over Stellenbosch FC has eased pressure on interim coach Rhulani Mokwena and his charges.

The Soweto giants were desperate for a win, having failed to win their previous two matches, which were PSL encounters against Bidvest Wits and Cape Town City.

A hard-fought 1-0 victory over Stellies has earned Pirates a spot in the 2019 Telkom Knockout Cup quarter-finals which also bought more time for Mokwena.

This then begs the question: Have Pirates turned the corner?

Goal explains why Mokwena still has a problem he needs to fix quickly despite the win over Stellenbosch.
