The Sea Robbers and the Stellies were unable to find the back of the net in the normal duration of the game, with the Soweto giants needing extra time to secure the deserved win.

Second-half substitutes Tshepang Moremi and Tshegofatso Mabasa both scored, with the former scoring a brace and assisting another.

Another summer signing, Oswin Appollis, also impressed by creating two assists for Moremi as Abdeslam Ouaddou wins his first title as Pirates coach.

The Buccaneers became the first team in the Premier Soccer League to three-peat the MTN8 when they defeated Stellies last season, but they've not broken that record to set a new one of winning the title four consecutive seasons.
