Oupa Manyisa won the MTN8 for Orlando Pirates with a great goal

Manyisa has scored three goals for Orlando Pirates since he turned professional in 2008/09 – all of them stunners – and scored his second long-range screamer in succession last night at Soccer City.

The 23-year-old has also beaten both Bafana Bafana goalkeepers, Wayne Sandilands and Itumeleng Khune, to help the Mighty Buccaneers snatch their first trophy this season.

Speaking an an interview with snl24.com/kickoff, Manyisa says he "had a feeling" he would score before the match.

"I had great feeling before the start of the game that I would score a goal against Kaizer Chiefs," he says.

"I was so happy when I did, and to win the MTN8 cup for the second time in succession!"

Manyisa says last night's goal is a special one for him: "I always enjoy scoring great goals, but this one was so special because it helped my team win and helped us defend the trophy."

The Randfontein-born midfielder credits senior players at Pirates for helping him improve his performance and stay level-headed.

"The senior players at Pirates have been a great help to improve my game," he says. "They always motivate and encourage me to remain calm and stay level headed. I believe with hard work I can still improve a lot."Pirates fans: which of Oupa's three stunners do you rate the best? Have your say HERE!
