A late Monnapule Saleng goal from Orlando Pirates came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Chippa United in their opening Betway Premiership clash at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

The Chilli Boys opened the scoring in the 22nd minute thanks to a thunderous striker from former Pirates player Andile Jali.

The Buccaneers drew the game level in the 49th minute through Tshegofatso Mabasa before Monnapule Saleng grabbed the winning goal in stoppage-time to hand his side the win and all three points.
