Orlando Pirates, who won the Carling Knockout final, took seven corner kicks in the narrow win, while Orbit College took five.
Orlando Pirates: Three Points Away From Winning the Betway Premiership
Going into the final match of the 2025/26 season, Orlando Pirates only need three points to clinch the Betway Premiership trophy for the first time in 14 years.
Orbit College is the only side that can stop the Buccaneers from securing the elite title. It will definitely not be easy for the Bucs, as the hosts also need maximum points to ensure they climb out of the relegation playoff slot.
Defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns top the table with 68 points after 30 matches, while Pirates have 66 points in 29 matches.
A win will ensure that Amabhakaniya finish above Masandawana on the table. A draw or a loss will mean that Sundowns become champions for the ninth season in a row.
