Bashin Mahlangu: Pirates must not lose focus...

Orlando Pirates legend Albert Mahlangu has warned the Buccaneers to make sure they do everything to perfection against Durban City FC as scoring a goal against goalkeeper Darren Keet might not be easy.

Keet is set to retire from playing the game at the end of the current campaign, and will obviously go out with a bang.

The Betway Premiership clash at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday is scheduled for 15:00. A win for Pirates against City will make them 2025/26 PSL champions.

"Bashin" says he can now almost taste the Buccaneers victory of the championship as it is now in the touching distance.

"Sekusele kancani [They are almost there], this is where they need to take one game at the time Pirates, they need to make sure they don't lose focus these boys, they must continue where they left off in their last match," Mahlangu tells KickOff.

"Football can be something else, legendary commentator Cebo Manyaapelo summed it up very well when he said there is no therefore in football. May his soul rest in peace. Yes we have two games in hand but we haven't won them yet, we still have to fight for those points. We must start our match against Durban City like a house on fire. Otherwise we will get a surprise.

"Just look at how many saves the Siwelele FC goalkeeper Ricardo Goss made against Pirates just the other day, only to concede 7 goals against Mamelodi Sundowns. That shows us that in football anything is possible. So like every goalkeeper, Keet will be looking to shine against Pirates, like every player does when facing the likes of Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, and Sundowns.

"But I trust our boys to make us proud against Durban City, I just want them not to lose concentration, they must make sure against Keet."
