The result means Pirates remain unbeaten in Group C and top of the table on five points. But the Buccaneers created enough chances to grab all three points against the group's bottom side.

"We are disappointed we did not get the maximum result," Rasebotja told Pirates media after the game.

Evidence Makgopa's penalty gave Pirates the lead on the stroke of half-time but Ousmane Meite's strike eight minutes into the second-half grabbed a point for the home side.
