Kaizer Chiefs returned to winning ways by beating their arch-rivals Orlando Pirates 1-0 in the Soweto Derby at a packed FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The match was the third between two sides this season with Chiefs having won their Telkom knockout match in penalties and the league encounter 3-2 in 2019.
It was Chiefs who drew first blood. Pirates’ style of building from the back backfired when right-back, Mthokozisi Dube, was dispossessed. Pirates had a chance to equalise minutes before the break after Thembinkosi Lorch had whipped the ball into the box. However, Gabadinho Mhango missed the target with only Akpeyi to beat.
The match opened up with both teams attacking and Chiefs had another chance to extend their lead. However, defender Ntsikelelo Nyauza thwarted the move with a well-timed tackle.
