The verdict· graded 29 Aug

Orlando Pirates beat Sekhukhune United 3–0 (4–0 on aggregate) on 29 August 2026 to reach the MTN8 final. (Corrected by the desk: the automated resolution was written on 28 August, before the second leg, and dated it 30 August.)

The claim, made on 22 August, was that Pirates would qualify for the final within a week; the second leg on 29 August settled the tie in their favour, inside that window.
