Makola red card did not give Orlando Pirates an advantage - Zinnbauer

The Buccaneers spent the better part of the match fighting against a Cape Town City side who were a man short, but were unable to capitalise

Orlando Pirates weren't advantaged by the 33rd-minute dismissal of Cape Town City's Mpho Makola in Sunday's 1-0 defeat, claims Buccaneers coach Josef Zinnbauer

Kermit Erasmus scored the only goal of the game in first-half stoppage time as Bucs failed to make the most of their numerical superiority, despite Makola seeing red in the 33rd minute.

City even had the best chance of the second half, with Erasmus having a second goal disallowed, as Pirates extended their winless league run to six games comprising two defeats and four draws.
