Pirates Loanee Wins League In Africa

Orlando Pirates loanee Gilberto won the Girabola with Petro de Luanda with one game to spare.

Gilberto arrived at Pirates at the beginning of the 2024/25 season with high expectations but struggled for game time under Jose Riveiro making just 12 appearances in all competitions.

The 23-year-old re-joined Luanda on loan in January, and has helped the Angolan giants to defend their league title.

On Sunday, Petro beat Sagrada Esperance 1-0 to move to 65 points – five ahead of second-placed Wiliete to secure their 19th Girabola title.

Former Cape Town City goalkeeper Hugo Marquez was also part of the league-winning squad.
