OCT 22, 2014 LISTEN

Ghana duo Kwabena Adusei and Edwin Gyimah missed Mpumalanga Black Aces' 2-1 win over Orlando Pirates on Tuesday night in the Absa Premiership. 

Adusei, who marked his return from the AFCON qualifiers with a stunning headed goal in the 3-2 victory over Swallows on Saturday, was not named in the starting line-up by coach Clive Barker.

Gyimah is bereaved and yet to join his clubmates.
Mabhuti Khenyeza's late penalty proved the difference between the sides, with Collins Mbesuma's early opener cancelled out by a second half penalty from Lehlohonolo Majoro.

Pirates started the match strongly and Kermit Erasmus almost opened the scoring in the second minute, firing a cross-shot from the left that had the beating of goalkeeper Jackson Mabokgwane but rebounded off the outside of the near post.

Aces then opened the scoring against the run of play in the 12th minute. A free kick delivery from the right flank found the head of former Pirates striker Collins Mbesuma and the Zambian directed his effort into the back of the net to make it 1-0.

The Buccaneers drew level in the 70th minute when Majoro coolly converted a penalty.
