A goal of the season contender for the @orlandopirates striker as he smashes the ball past Akpeyi to make it 2-2 after 60 minutes. Rhulani Mokwena celebrates on the sideline 👏

Parker has been fouled in the Pirates area.

It is end-to-end stuff as we approach the 90th minute of the match.

Both teams are looking a late winning goal.

Pule pulls one back for @orlandopirates 🏴‍☠️

His free-kick from a very tight angle sneaks its way past Akpeyi into the net to make it 2-1 to Chiefs after 42 minutes.

Pirates are applying some pressure on the Chiefs defence as they look to restore parity.

Lorch has hit the workwood with Akpeyi well beaten.

Castro puts @KaizerChiefs two goals up ✌️

Leonardo Castro loves scoring in the #SowetoDerby and he's done it again, heading in a corner to make it to 2-0 to the Amakhosi.

Pirates are now looking to pull one back before the half-time break with Pule looking lively.

What a start for @KaizerChiefs 😳

It took less than 45 seconds for Chiefs to go 1-0 up in the #SowetoDerby with Ntsikelelo Nyauza heading into his own net, after confusion with Wayne Sandilands.
