Mamelodi Sundowns coach Steve Komphela heaps praise on the Soweto Derby experience ahead of Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs showdown - 'How do you explain how Coca Cola tastes?'

Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Steve Komphela has shared his experience of the Soweto Derby between two Premier Soccer League giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.

The 57-year-old coach possesses a wealth of Soweto Derby experience, having managed the Motaung-owned team for at least three seasons from 2015 to 2018.

Speaking with the media ahead of the forthcoming exciting Soweto Derby, Komphela could not conceal his respect for the match between Chiefs and Pirates as he elaborated on what it means to be part of this encounter.

This eagerly-awaited Soweto Derby will mark the first experience for Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi, who joined the Glamour Boys in July 2024.

Conversely, Jose Riveiro has considerable experience in this match-up between the two Soweto powerhouses, having arrived in South Africa back in 2022.

This encounter is expected to be captivating, considering that Chiefs have acquired new players under a new coach, which may present a slight challenge for the Bucs.

As the saying goes, the nation will be divided on Saturday as the most significant match in South African football takes the spotlight at the iconic FNB Stadium. The kickoff is set for 15h30.

Chiefs will aim to enhance their performance after disappointing results in the recent Soweto Derby games.

They have lost the last three encounters against the Bucs and last triumphed in the Derby in February 2023.
