Orlando Pirates suffered their first defeat of the year as they were thumped 3-0 by Ajax Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium on Wednesday.

A brace by Yannick Zakri and a further strike by Mosa Lebusa ended Pirates’ four-game unbeaten streak in the league.

The result sees Ajax secure a much-needed three points in their bid to escape relegation this season.
