By Wale Mustapha
Nigerian defender Olisa Ndah scored one of the goals for Orlando Pirates in their 2-2 preseason friendly encounter against Championship side Plymouth Argyle on Friday.
The historic encounter, held in Marbella, Spain, marked the first meeting between the two teams and delivered an exciting match.
Orlando Pirates took the lead in the first half when Evidence Makgopa capitalized on a defensive lapse by Plymouth to score from close range.
Plymouth Argyle quickly responded, with teenage striker Freddie Issaka equalizing in the 40th minute.
Ndah restored Orlando Pirates’ lead three minutes later, seizing on another defensive mix-up from the English side.
The Pilgrims drew level again in the 63rd minute, with Callum Wright scoring from an Ibrahim Cissoko assist.
Orlando Pirates will now turn their focus to Monday’s friendly against Sevilla.
Olisa Ndah is entering his third season with the Buccaneers and has been an integral part of the team since his arrival.
