Orlando Pirates fan-favourite Olisa Ndah turned into a villain when he came off the bench to close shop and ended up scoring an own goal to gift bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs a record fifth Soweto derby victory in a row at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Ndah, who had never played an official match since the previous Soweto derby on October 29, was brought in to consolidate after skipper and left-back Innocent Maela was sent off in the 60th minute. The Nigerian defender's 89th minute own goal was the game's only strike.
All in all, from not being a sold-out affair to being an unexciting spectacle, this Soweto derby failed to live up to its hype. Approximately 62,000 fans graced the occasion. On the other hand, Pirates strangely started the match without a natural right-back with traditional left-footed full-back Paseka Mako operating at right-back while skipper Innocent Maela occupied the left-back slot. They had one recognised right-back in Thabiso Monyane on the bench.
