Ghana defender Edwin Gyimah was the star man as Orlando Pirates beat Bloemfontein Celtics 1-0 in the Absa Premier League.

The Ghanaian utility player is finally living up to the hype after initially struggling in his first few months at the club.

Gyimah was a rock at the heart of defence for Pirates and absorbed almost everything the Celtics team threw at them.

South Africa international Mpho Makola scored the only goal of the game and that was enough to give Pirates all three points.

The points picked up helps the Bucs move to 7th on the league table and a with a real possibility of going to into the top four for the first time this season.
