Orlando Pirates became the first Carling Knockout Cup champions to lift the Carling Black Label Cup after they beat the Carling All-Stars 2-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Mfundo Vilakazi created half a chance for the All-Stars team as he whipped in a cross inside the Pirates box in the 10th minute which forced Melusi Buthelezi to punch it away from danger.
The live-wire winger was then clutched from the back moments later by Makhehleni Makhaula in the 18-yard box, but the referee waved play on.
In the 67th minute, Mduduzi Shabalala as his effort from close range deflected for a corner kick.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 68th minute as super-sub Sifiso Luthuli came off the bench to make it 1-0 for Pirates.
Another substitute in Boitumelo Radiopane got his name on the scoresheet in the 79th minute after outpacing the All-Stars defence before placing his effort in the bottom left corner to make it 2-0.
The victory marked another trophy win for head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou and his charges after their CKC just last weekend.
