Aubrey Modiba has admitted that hope has been restored at Mamelodi Sundowns following Orlando Pirates recent slip-up in the Betway Premiership title race. Pirates missed an opportunity to seize control of the league title last weekend when they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Durban City FC at the Orlando Amstel Arena.
A victory for the Buccaneers would have moved them level on 68 points with Sundowns, but would have seen them move to the top of the log table due to their superior goal difference heading into the final round of fixtures.
However, the stalemate means the title race will only be decided on the final day of the season this coming Saturday. Pirates are away to ORBIT College at the Mbombela Stadium to ensure they dethrone Sundowns, who have won the league for the past eight consecutive seasons.
