Jose Riveiro's charges are lying third on the table, three points behind second-placed Stellenbosch in the race to qualify for the CAF Champions League.
Usuthu's two goals from Hendrick Ekstein and Taariq Fielies in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals were not enough to prevent defeat against Pirates.
The KwaZulu-Natal outfit were coming off a 1-0 win over Cape Town City in the league before a loss against the Buccaneers.
