Ghana winger Bernard Morrison gets game time as Pirates draw with Maritzburg united

Published on: 16 September 2017

Ghana winger Bernard Morrison played a part in Orlando Pirates’ 0-0 draw against Maritzburg United, which had Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori in post.

The winger played 58th minutes and was replace by Rakhale, Morisson could have put the Bucs in front but he squirmed his chance.

United almost went 1-0 up in the 15th minute when a mistake by Abbubaker Mobara in the centre of midfield released Ndlovu on attack but fortunately Wayne Sandilands did enough to nullify Ndlovu's attempt.

The Team of Choice continued to pile the pressure on the Buccaneers and almost got that elusive opener in the 30th minute when Rusike beat two Pirates defenders and fired a fierce shot which forced a good save out of Sandilands.

In the 38th minute, Ndlovu fired a snap shot towards goal from the edge of the box, only to see his attempt go aimlessly wide.

A minute later Pirates sprung an attack of their own and should have gone 1-0 up when Bernard Morrison played a ball to the far post which was met by Thabo Matlaba, whose headed shot forced a spilled save from the keeper but unfortunately Gabuza was unable to slot in the loose ball.

Pirates and United maintain their undefeated records for yet another gameweek, and next up for the Buccaneers is a home match against Cape Town City.
