Shonga brace send Pirates to number 2

Justin Shonga inspired Orlando Pirates to second place on the South Africa PSL log on Sunday when he scored a brace in a 4-2 away win over Chippa United.

The Chipolopolo striker hit the target twice in the second half to take his tally to three goals since joining Pirates from Nkwazi last August.

Shonga scored Pirates second and final goal in the 73th and 90th minutes after Bernard Morrison and Thembinkosi Lorch struck in the 26th and 86th minutes respectively.

The Chipolopolo striker played the full 90 minutes for Pirates who move four points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on 36 points with eight games left to play.

Pirates relegated archrivals Kaizer Chiefs to 3rd on 35 points.
